The mission of El Centro of Topeka is to improve the lives of families and individuals through education and empowerment.

Community Resource Program – El Centro of TopekaEl Centro of Topeka is one of the few organizations in Topeka that provides culturally sensitive assistance to low income Hispanic families. Since opening its doors in 1972 the goal has been to be a trusted community resource center for individuals and families in need of help. Our services are designed to address the needs of our clients. Many of our clients speak very limited English and lack familiarity with programs and resources available to them.

Today we continue to strive to keep the spirit of service that Father Ramon exemplified…

El Centro’s mission is to strengthen communities and improve the lives of Latinos and others through educational, social and economic opportunities.
