Latino Leadership Committee: A voice shaping our community.


	"Colors of Life" Mural created by the Latino Leadership Committee.

Committee invites stakeholders and policy makers to share dialogue.

Four years ago, the North Tahoe Family Resource Center (NTFRC), located in TTCF's Community House building, offered a Life Leadership workshop with the intention to develop participant understanding of mental health and healthful habits, as well as to build the self-esteem of our local Latino residents. Since then, the Latino Leadership Committee has formed to support its members and the region by becoming local leaders involved in neighborhood concerns, policy making, and community development. With NTFRC's support and Community House in Kings Beach as a home base, the Latino Leadership Committee is just getting started. Read our Sierra Sun article here.

Our community stands together for our must vulnerable neighbors.

Emergency Cold Weather Warming Center (EWC) saves lives this winter.

The EWC's pilot season was the first "good winter" our region has had in years. Its opening, and the absence of reported deaths due to extreme weather exposure, is in thanks to the overwhelming support that our community shared along with United for Action (UFA) who led the charge for establishing a safe shelter for our most vulnerable neighbors. The center was open for a total of 25 nights, but the profound and unanticipated successes reach far beyond a single evening. Read more here.
