Latino Leadership has been designated to support Census Outreach efforts to engage undocumented immigrants and their families in the 2010 Census count. Specifically, in collaboration with partner organizations, Latino Leadership will :
• Conduct Census outreach activities – concentrated on emerging Latino, Asian, and Haitian communities - in the geographic community of the I-4 Corridor (which includes the Orange, Osceola, Seminole, Lake, Polk, Volusia, and Brevard Counties).
• Conduct in-person outreach to campos/field migrant workers.
• Engage apartment complexes in dialogue to establish a “retaliation-free” zone during census time.
• Host “Census Corner” walk-in centers at Latino Leadership and at partner CBOs to assist with completion of Census forms.
• Provide “Train the Trainer” sessions for key elected, appointed, religious, community leaders, and CBOs.
• Train volunteers from partner CBOs to conduct outreach through community events, canvassing, and staffing Census Corners in each of seven counties.
• Plan and host a statewide Immigrant Leaders Roundtable with community leaders and partnering CBOs to discuss and combat Census negative messaging.
• Utilize relationships with Ya Es Hora, National institute for Latino Policy, and Governor’s Complete Count Committee to support Census outreach work.
