Unfulfilled Promises and Lack of Transparency
I'm extremely disappointed with the services I received from Latinos Progresando. As a member of the Mexican community in Chicago, I was expecting a higher level of care and understanding from an organization that claims to 'elevate the well-being' of our community. Unfortunately, my experience was marred by unfulfilled promises, lack of transparency, and a general sense of disorganization. The immigration legal services I received were subpar, and the community education initiatives seemed more like a checkbox than a genuine effort to empower our community. I was also disappointed by the lack of follow-through on their capacity-building training programs, which seemed to be more focused on theory than practical application. Despite their claims of collaboration with 30 institutional partners, I saw little evidence of this in practice. The events and initiatives they hosted seemed more focused on celebrating their own cultural heritage than actually addressing the needs of our community. As someone who has seen firsthand the impact that effective, community-driven organizations can have, I was saddened by the missed opportunities and unmet potential of Latinos Progresando. With a stronger focus on accountability, transparency, and community engagement, I believe this organization could truly make a positive difference in the lives of those they serve. Until then, I would caution others in our community to approach with skepticism and carefully consider their options before seeking assistance from Latinos Progresando.
