Mission & Impact Statements Mission Progreso Community Center is the first Hispanic grassroots membership organization and community center in Nashville, Tennessee. Our mission is to organize and build the capacity of members of the Hispanic community to participate in participatory processes of community action for social change and the collective benefit of Hispanics and the general community, while contributing to social unity in a context of multicultural diversity. Background Progreso Community Center (PCC) was founded on February 22, 2006, out of the collective action of a diverse group of Hispanic day laborers, small business owners and their employees, and women workers in three successful community organizing campaigns, and the need for a participatory and democratic membership organization in the Nashville Hispanic community. PCC was founded as the first Hispanic grassroots community organization in Nashville and in 2007 opened the first Hispanic community center in Nashville. Since PCC was founded on February 22, 2006, we have been based in Southeast Nashville, in the heart of the area where a majority of the local Hispanic community lives. Needs As Progreso Community Center continues to reach out to the most underserved and vulnerable members of the Hispanic community we have found that our greatest needs have been for further resources to continue our programs that value needs based assessment in the community. Another critical need is for more volunteers from the community to support our existing programs such as Community Education, Community Organizing, Health and Culture. These programs serve members in the community as we partner with a wide range of organizations and focus primarily on prevention, access to health care, and reducing health care disparities. Other ways to donate, support, or volunteer To help support Progreso Community Center, you can mailing in check or donate via the website, a cash donation, or in-kind donations. Volunteers can participate in our four program areas or during one of our many events.

Programs Programs Community Education (English Classes, Computer Classes) Description Community Education is an important program at Progreso Community Center (PCC) because we believe that knowledge and information are power. We offer English Classes (ESL/ELL) as well as Computer classes. ESL/ELL (English as a Second Language/English Language Learners) classes are designed to meet students at their specific need levels to help them to obtain useful, practical knowledge of the English Language through three different levels: ESL Intro, ESL Beginner or ESL Intermediate. We also offer English Conversation classes. Computer classes are offered on basic computer software programs such as Word, Excel, and Powerpoint for students to gain basic knowledge. Other useful topics such as internet usage, email usage, letter writing, and resume writing are covered as well. We believe that everyone has valuable knowledge to share with others and that no one should live marginalized from the processes of transmission, reception, or exchange of information. Budget 20000 Category Population Served Education, General/Other Adult Education Adults, Hispanic, Latino Heritage, 3
Community Health Programs Description Health is one of Progreso Community Center s (PCC) program areas because it is such an important issue for the Hispanic and general community. Members of PCC work with a wide range of organizations and focus primarily on prevention, access to health care, and reducing health care disparities. Specific health programs include Healthy Families Classes offered in collaboration with Meharry and Tennessee State University, and Vanderbilt. As well as the HPV Vaccine Hotline pilot project in collaboration with the Meharry-Vanderbilty-TSU Cancer Partnership (under a grant of the National Institutes of Health), which implements and evaluates a social marketing campaign to increase use of the HPV vaccine among Hispanic girls. Progreso also works with the Susan G. Komen Foundation in efforts to provide free preventative early breast cancer detection screenings to the women in our community. Other health efforts include coordinating and housing the Nashville Latino Health Coalition (NLHC), which is a collaboration of 16 nonprofit, public health, health care, and academic organizations. PCC leads the coalition in participatory decision-making processes between Hispanic community members and member and affiliate organizations. Budget 50000 Category Health Care, General/Other Preventive Health Population Served Hispanic, Latino Heritage,, Culture Programs Description Progreso Community Center (PCC) considers culture an integral part of our community. Culture makes up one of our program areas as we focus on how the processes of cultural creation are directly born from the creative inspiration and daily life of members of our community and their own traditions. This culture includes aspects such as language, crafts for domestic and decorative use, paintings, music, and dance. PCC helps to coordinate several cultural events such as art exhibits, dance groups, art classes and Bohemian Nights. Budget 5000 Category Arts, Culture & Humanities, General/Other Cultural Heritage Population Served Hispanic, Latino Heritage,, 4
Community Organizing Description Community Organizing as program plays a pivotal role in processes of structural social changes. PCC was founded out of three successful community organizing campaigns. The key component of these successful campaigns was the inclusion in participatory and democratic decision-making processes of those directly affected by the issues. Budget 10000 Some examples of these campaigns are: Successfully organizing Hispanic day laborers to defeat a proposed local ordinance that intended to make illegal for day laborers to solicit work. Successfully organizing a group of 15 Hispanic women workers who were being discriminated against and sexually harassed in a multimillion corporation. Organizing a neighborhood in Smyrna to establish a neighborhood committee in its recovering efforts from the flood in May 2010. Category Community Development, General/Other Community Development, General/Other Population Served,, CEO Comments As a Hispanic community-based organization and community center the main challenge we face is funding because we work with the low-income and vulnerable Hispanic immigrant population in Nashville. However, working for and with low income and vulnerable Hispanic immigrants offer the opportunity to empower them to discover their capacities in a communal context. 5
