The mission of the Guadalupe Centers is to improve the quality of life for individuals in the Latino communities of Greater Kansas City.
They accomplish their mission by: providing early childhood, secondary, adult education and workforce training programs, facilitating access to health and social services for all ages, promoting and providing Latino cultural enrichment events, sponsoring social activities that engage our diverse communities.
One of the cultural enrichment events/social activities they do every year is their Cinco de Mayo Fiesta! This fundraiser not only benefits their programs, but it continues a neighborhood tradition that originally started in 1922, making it the original Cinco de Mayo Fiesta in Kansas City! Growing in popularity with new attractions for the 2 day event, families can enjoy local and out of state entertainment, mariachis, folkloric dancers, food trucks, kid’s rides, petting zoo, vendors, contests, raffles and much more!
And as always, they need the help of volunteers! Click here to check out the different volunteer roles and shifts. Give back and have some fun while you’re at it!
Happy volunteering! And happy Friday!
