Long Beach Latino Civic Association
Civic Organization
Description
Orlando Ariza, Mike Cruz and Martha Otero came together in 1994 to create an organization that would alleviate the social problems of the Latino community in the city of Long Beach, New York. They started with meetings at the public library with 30 to 40 people participating. A year later they decided to make it official and turned it into a non-profit organization. From offering Socio-Economic Development programs to stimulate leadership and generate environmental and cultural awareness, to encouraging educational and Civic Participation through one-on-one meetings and public events. Here at LBLCA, we are devoted to building a better future for the members of our community.
