Abstract:

Orange County’s El Centro Latino has closed leaving Latinos in the area in need of many social services. The center provided information referral services and tutoring aid for students, English classes, job employment assistance, and more. The small nonprofit suffered from a high turnover in leadership and a lack of funding. Many area residents are upset and will have to travel to Durham or Chatham Counties to get help.
