About us

In a world that is growing ever more divided, at Vecinos, our MISSION is to bring together Latinos and non-Latinos alike, to form a stronger community while celebrating the richness of Latino culture. 

The heart of our work is embracing diversity—not merely tolerating differences, but honoring them—while also finding connection in the universal threads that tie us all together: family, community, and the desire to belong.

Vecinos de South Pasadena is a grassroots, all-volunteer organization with no paid staff. Our strength comes from the passion and dedication of community members who believe in the power of connection, culture, and shared experiences.

Get Involved
You can be part of our mission to foster community and celebrate Latino culture:

  • Donate to Our Scholarships: Help us support students in pursuing their academic dreams.
  • Host an Event: Partner with us to host cultural events, community gatherings, or educational workshops that celebrate Latino heritage and bring people together.
  • Apply for a CULTURA Grant: Whether you’re an artist, educator, or community leader, if you have an idea for an art expression that celebrates Latino culture in our city or schools, we encourage you to apply.

Every contribution—whether time, talent, or resources—helps strengthen our community. Join us in honoring our differences, lifting up Latino voices, and creating a South Pasadena where everyone feels they belong.
