LATINOLA

On February 26, 2008, LatINola launched LatINola Votes!, an eight month campaign to get Latino voters registered before the Presidential elections. We want to make sure that our voice within our state is heard loud and clear, and the first step towards accomplishing this is by taking the first step in the democratic process and becoming a registered voter. ¡Acompáñenos! Join us by learning more and exploring the various ways you can get involved in this important effort.

The spirit of volunteerism has had an incredible impact across the New Orleans metro area. Many of us know of someone who has volunteered and helped a family move into a home, or helped a free medical clinic open for the public. As members of this community, we believe it is important that Latinos participate in this spirit of giving. ¡Acompáñenos! Join us by learning how to serve with us as a volunteer and help bring the Latin American spirit of giving to neighborhoods and families in need across our area.

Giving back to the Latino community has never been simpler. LatINola offers a variety of custom sponsorship and support opportunities. To find out more, visit our sponsorship page.
