Latinos Progresando is a Chicago-based nonprofit in the legal services sector, established in 1998 to provide high-quality information and resources that help people build secure, healthy, and productive lives. The organization operates the largest Latino-led, family-based immigration legal services program in Illinois, including an initiative focused on immigrant victims of domestic violence, and it supports community well-being through cultural and educational activities such as Teatro Americano and the Dr. Angela Perez Miller Scholarship Fund. In addition to legal services, Latinos Progresando convenes The Marshall Square Resource Network, a coalition of organizations working to transform Chicago’s southwest side, and engages in partnerships and community projects—such as collaborations with The Nature Conservancy to improve access to green spaces and air quality. The organization is based at 2724 West Cermak Road in Chicago, Illinois, and serves a diverse community through a multifaceted program that combines legal aid, arts and education, and community organizing.
