Latino Network is a Portland-based nonprofit that serves Latino communities in Multnomah County through education- and empowerment-focused programs. Grounded in culturally specific practices, its work targets children, youths, and families, with initiatives that promote early literacy, parental involvement, and academic support for high school students, while also addressing issues such as youth violence and dropout risk. The organization engages with gang-involved and adjudicated youth and works to build leadership capacity across youth and adult participants. Its mission centers on Latino self-determination and social justice, guided by values including accountability, culture, collaboration, education, and leadership development. Through these programs, the group seeks to improve community livability, civic participation, and long-term educational and life outcomes.

Founded in 1996 by community leaders concerned about resource gaps for Latinos, Latino Network identifies itself as a Latino-led education organization rooted in culturally specific practices. It is based in Portland, Oregon, and operates within the nonprofit sector that supports youth and families toward their full potential. In December 2020, the organization appointed Tony DeFalco as executive director, marking a notable leadership transition.
