Educate | Inspire | Lead
WHO WE ARE
Chicas Latinas de Sacramento has worked to create a culture of volunteerism and civic engagement in the Sacramento community, one Latina-powered project at a time, since 2009!
Our volunteers (of all ages and backgrounds) discover the power of one, learn about the various needs and opportunities within our neighborhoods and the Sacramento community, and are empowered to lead – in a supportive environment. Many of our community volunteers transition into Chicas Latinas committee roles or serve on the board of directors. Many have moved on to serve in civic leadership roles within our city, state, and nation. Viva las Mujeres!

COVID-19 Update
Due to Covid-19 and the ongoing pandemic, much of our regular volunteer activities, in-person community efforts, and fundraisers have been canceled and/or postponed. Many of our community partner organization have also put their in-person volunteer opportunities hold.
Since the pandemic, Chicas Latinas de Sacramento has introduced virtual events, including a Latinx book club!
Each month #CLBookClub reads a different book and hosts weekly virtual discussions on Thursdays.
Chicas Latinas’ book club is free and volunteer ran.
