Unidos Bridging Community is a nonprofit organization founded in 2012 in Yamhill County, Oregon, and based in McMinnville. It advocates for Latinx individuals and families, especially first- or second-generation immigrants, and works to strengthen understanding and support between Latinx and non-Latinx residents in the county. Given that Latinx residents represent about 16% of the county and appear in higher shares within many schools, the organization focuses on ensuring Latinx communities participate fully in health and safety, education, employment, housing, and economic life. The group aims to cultivate a community that values immigrant contributions, celebrates diverse cultures, and promotes inclusive engagement across local life. Unidos pursues its mission through education, policy advocacy, leadership development, and immigration support, and it prioritizes collaboration with other community organizations to foster intentional, cross-cultural relationships. The organization relies on volunteers, with an all-volunteer board of directors guiding its work. A recent development illustrating ongoing collaboration is a 2025 partnership with Linfield College's Center for Wine Education, signaling continued ties with local institutions in Yamhill County.
