Concilio

The Council of Spanish Speaking Organizations, also known as Concilio, was founded in 1962 making it the oldest Latino organization in Philadelphia. Concilio is proud to have a well-established reputation for providing culturally relevant family support and child welfare services. Concilio’s MISSION is to cultivate the strength and resilience of children and families, improve the quality of life in our community, and maintain our community’s heritage, history, and culture. Concilio was founded to recognize and voice the needs of Philadelphia’s Puerto Rican and Latino communities. Our core value to improve the quality of life in our community has meant working with local government, community agencies, educational institutions, and the private sector. Most importantly, our mission is influenced by the community’s voice.
