Roots is a nonprofit dedicated to uplifting Hispanic and Latin American immigrant families through storytelling, education, and arts-based programs. The organization focuses on creating spaces where voices from marginalized communities can be heard, preserved, and celebrated. Located in the heart of Pilsen, Roots offers amenities to registered members, a fresh fruit and vegetable garden, ESL classes, after school programs, and community programming. Membership is free for Pilsen residents with proof of local address. Because our roots extend beyond borders, we also welcome applicants from outside the area who share our mission. Non-residents can apply by demonstrating their ongoing connection or contribution to Roots’ community programs.
