The Council of Spanish
Speaking Organizations was founded on October 1, 1962, by a group of
Latino leaders concerned with the many problems facing
Philadelphia's Latino community. It is incorporated as a non-profit,
501(c)(3) corporation. Since its inception, Concilio has been guided
by a mission to ensure that equitable social, educational, health,
and cultural services are available and affordable for everyone. |

For 47 years, the
organization has provided opportunities to the most disadvantaged in North
Philadelphia to obtain employment, health services, family counseling, adult and
technical education, and cultural opportunities among others. |
