Instituto del Progreso Latino is a Chicago-based nonprofit founded in 1977 that supports Latino immigrants and their families through education, training, and employment initiatives designed to foster fuller participation in U.S. society while preserving cultural identity. The organization serves around 8,000 families each year, delivering programs such as Carreras en Salud, a healthcare career pathways initiative, and pathways in manufacturing and retail. In 2018 it launched Instituto College, which offers ADN nursing degrees. It operates two charter schools, Instituto Health Sciences Career Academy and Instituto Justice and Leadership Academy. 

In addition to these education and workforce programs, the group provides citizenship and adult education classes in English and Spanish, along with support services like financial coaching, child care, and benefits assistance. It is the largest processor of citizenship applications in Illinois, and in 2020 collaborated with the YMCA of Metropolitan Chicago to provide emergency childcare for essential workers.
