Welcome!

Progreso Latino, Inc. is a multi-service, non-profit, community based organization located in Central Falls. Our mission is to empower the Latino community by providing the knowledge, skills, training, continuum of services and opportunities for self sufficiency, human development, prosperity, and a flourishing community.

The rapid growth of the Latino population in Rhode Island during the 1970's and the inability of existing state social service agencies to adequately meet the needs of this population, led to the incorporation of the agency in 1977. Local Hispanic leaders established the agency to be staffed by bilingual, bicultural individuals in order to address the basic human needs of the Latino community.
