Organization Description

Centro CHA exists with the mission to increase the quality source of programs and services that are dedicated to improve the social and economic development of low-income youth and families in Long Beach. Our vision of a thriving community is one where investments for low-income communities and environments are a priority, and where residents are connected, civically engaged, working, and living in sustainable homes, schools, and communities.

Program Information

Originaly formed in 1992 and officially incorporated in 1999, Centro CHA has been the community’s leading non-profit organization dedicated to the improvement and advancement of Latino/Hispanic. Through our various services, initiatives, and programs Centro CHA has played an integral role in the improvement of social and economic development and continues to be a beacon of hope to the community.

Our integrated approach is what differentiates us from other organizations and allows the people Centro CHA serves to have access to more than the single service or program they initially came for. Centro CHA is seen by its members as a familiar and trusting partner and has created long-term relationships with the people it serves. While our services are ever-changing to properly reflect the needs of our community, our core mission remains the same.

With the work of our team, community leaders, and each other Centro CHA envisions a thriving space where investments for low-income environments are a priority, residents are connected and civically engaged, unemployment is low and there is an abundance of readily available resources and housing.

Centro CHA is proudly located in the densely populated Hispanic/Latino city of Long Beach, CA.

Health & Safety

It is the intent of [organization name] to provide a safe environment for employees, and volunteers. It is also our intent to properly manage any incidents that occur so as to minimize injury and other forms of loss. A well-managed workplace safety program can benefit our organization and its people in countless ways. In order for Centro CHA to achieve our goals, we have developed a workplace safety program outlining the policies and procedures regarding employee and volunteer health and safety. Each and every individual must become familiar with the program, follow and enforce the procedures, and become an active participant in this workplace safety program. While management [the workplace safety officer and workplace safety committee] will be responsible for developing and organizing this program, its success will depend on the involvement of each employee and volunteer. We look forward to your cooperation and participation. Staff — paid employees and unpaid volunteers — should be encouraged to report any unsafe conditions right away and should be educated how to react in an emergency involving potential violence at the workplace.
