The CLLARO Diverse Oral Health Equity Coalition program brings minority community organizations, oral health care providers, and public health agencies together to promote oral health education and prevention in minority communities and improve low-income family access to oral health care services.

CLLARO engages in non-partisan public policy research and advocacy.  We are represented at the Colorado General Assembly by a professional lobbyist.

 CLLARO encourages Latino U.S. citizens to register and vote.  In 2020, for example, CLLARO conducted voter registration drives and GOTV campaigns in Adams, Denver, and Pueblo counties.  

The U.S. Census has a long history of under-counting Latinos in Colorado.  In 2020, CLLARO used grassroots relational organizing methods and a social media campaigns to target Latinos residing in “hard to count” census tracts, to increase participation in the decennial U.S. Census.  

New civic engagement projects include legislative redistricting and the Latino Action Council a cooperative advocacy network of Latino organizations across the state.

CLLARO expanded its services during the COVID-19 pandemic to help Latino individuals and families get tested and vaccinated, find affordable health care, and receive assistance with a wide range of problems related to the pandemic’s disproportionately large economic impacts on Latinos. The program is an innovative culturally competent and bilingual outreach, referral, and assistance program aiding some of the most vulnerable and underserved Latinos in Colorado.
