Who are we?
Los Compañeros, a program of San Juan Citizens Alliance, is a non-profit organization with the purpose of protecting and expanding Latino rights and culture in the Four Corners Area.

Our History
In December, 1999, Alliance members organized a meeting of 25 activists who decided to initiate the Compañeros Latino Resource Center and to ask the San Juan Citizens Alliance to officially sponsor the project.

Our Mission
Los Compañeros is committed to educational research and outreach, with the purpose of stimulating awareness, fostering understanding, and furthering acceptance of the Latino community in the area. Providing and facilitating educational programs, as well as improving human relations among diverse cultures within the community, are the key elements of this mission.
