The Colombian American Coalition of Florida


	Website Visits

Welcome to the Colombian American Coalition’s web page. We are a non-for-profit 501-C-3 organization devoted and engaged in empowering Colombian Americans by fostering civic-engagement, advocacy and cultural initiatives.

While our core mission remains the same, the Colombian American Coalition has undergone a fundamental transformation. We have adopted a “Can Do Attitude” with measurable objectives to ensure our community is well served and well represented. To that end, I am proud to announce the launching of our most important project to date. “La Plaza Colombia.”

The Plaza Colombia will be a first of its kind. A plaza built on public land to recognize Colombian American heritage and relevance in South Florida. The Plaza Colombia will be

built, funded and managed by the Colombian American Coalition. For more information please visit our “Plaza Colombia” tab.

I invite you to get involved and learn about the many programs we are undertaking. I look forward to working on behalf of all of you by advancing the mission of our organization.

Sincerely,
José Luis Castillo
