Centro San Bonifacio

6216 N. Clark St. Chicago, IL 60660, United States.

Centro San Bonifacio was founded in 1991 as an act of community solidarity by a group of families after the closure of the Church of San Bonifacio. The organization was created to be led by and in service of the Latin American immigrant community, and to create opportunities for those in front line jobs to hold positions of power. Centro San Bonificio started in one of its board member’s apartments until it became the self-sustaining community organization it is today. Their main objective is to train health promoters within the Latino immigrant community in the northwest side of the city of Chicago.
