About Centro SOL

Centro SOL’s mission is to promote equity in Health/Salud and Opportunity for Latinos by advancing clinical care, research, education, and advocacy at Johns Hopkins and beyond in active partnership with our Latino neighbors. Our vision is that all Latinos receive culturally competent healthcare that acknowledges the diversity of the community and respects the dignity of everyone.

For more than a decade, Centro SOL has worked alongside Latino and immigrant-origin families in Baltimore to improve health and expand opportunities for the next generation. Through youth mentorship, mental health support, public health education, and community wellness initiatives, we partner with families, schools, clinics, and community organizations to expand access to resources and culturally responsive care.

Your support helps sustain these programs and ensures Latino families continue to have trusted partners in health, education, and opportunity.
