Mission Statement
Mano a Mano's mission is to empower immigrant families to become full participants in their community.
About This Cause
Located in Round Lake Park was established in 2000 as a result of a partnership between local legislators, community leaders, and law enforcement, Mano a Mano serves as a nexus of the local immigrant community, offering a one-stop-shop for health resources and services, adult and early childhood education, and immigration legal services for some of the hardest to reach, most vulnerable families and individuals. Serving over 8,000 individuals every year, Mano a Mano is the only immigrant-serving agency in all of Lake County that provides such a comprehensive array of culturally competent supportive services to our growing immigrant communities. Mano a Mano also now has a satellite office in North Chicago and co-locates at the Wauconda Area Library, Mundelein High School, and the Lake County Health Department Clinic in Highland Park. Our vision is an integrated community where everyone has access to opportunities and paths to success. Our mission is to empower immigrants and their families to become full participants in American life. We achieve our mission by: • Providing support, building skills, and facilitating access to local community resources and opportunities; • Acting as a hub for knowledge on issues relevant to the immigrant community; • Promoting best practices in providing culturally competent services; • Fostering leadership skills so that all of those who participate in our programs and services can play a role in promoting the advancement of themselves and their community; and • Influencing policies and decisions that impact immigrants and their families. We offer four key programs to our community: Engaged Citizens, Healthy Families, Productive Parents and Successful Children.
