Central Americans for Empowerment at UVA

Club Description

Central Americans for Empowerment at UVA aims to serve as the primary organization on Grounds focusing on anything and everything related to Central America. Our mission is to create an inclusive space for Central American folx in an effort to increase visibility and representation of the diversity within the Latinx community at the University of Virginia. CAFÉ will strive to center the intersectional identities related to Central America, while being cognisant of the greater Latin American region/communities on Grounds, Charlottesville, Virginia, The United States, Latin America, and abroad. We aim to gain a collective voice and foster empowerment through civic engagement and political, social and cultural education and advocacy while simultaneously building solidarity with other marginalized communities.
