Our Mission

The Capaces Leadership Institute strengthens the wellness, capacity, and political consciousness of individuals, organizations, movements, and community to eliminate social disparities.

Our guiding values are that of: Holistic Wellness, Fluidity, Tequio (Collectivism, Community, Giving Back), and El Espiritu de la Abuela (The spirit of the grandmother).

What do people say about us?

Join the Movement!

The beauty of CLI is that it allows all of us to be part of meaningful conversations and connect with others who are working within el movimiento but who we don't see on a daily basis. It is a challenge to do the type of work that we do, but it is refreshing to know that each organization isn't alone but rather part of a larger network.

The CLI is a great organization that has programs like TURNO, where we are prepared to be great leaders for our community.

When you have limited resources the CLI is a great place to ask for help. They do not only provide the electronic resources we need to complete our homework but they also provide us with their assistance in understanding the assignments. They offer resources to post high school education and offer support and guidance we need.

The CLI has become a place I consider a second home. A place where I am free to express myself and where there is always an opportunity to learn something new.

CAPACES Leadership Institute has become a place where I can come and express my concerns to the coordinators. Through the RE-TURNO program I have learned the qualities that make up a good leader and that there are various opportunities to make college possible.

CAPACES provides a space where you can interact with people with similar backgrounds. You can learn and discuss important topics that affect our community but society keeps us away from.
