Are you looking for help acclimating to American life and culture? Do you need to further your education? Would you like to begin the immigration process? Could you benefit from learning financial, job, or life management skills? Would your children benefit from help with school? Catholic Charities of Southeast Michigan is here to help with our La Casa Amiga Hispanic Outreach services. In 2013, we served over 4,000 people. We would like to help you, too.
News: Detroit Archbishop Allen Vigneron: “We stand with our immigrant brothers and sisters.”
So we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually parts of one another.

Coping and adjusting to a new culture can make day-to-day life challenging. When you step through our door, you will feel welcomed. In the Hispanic culture, the family is a great source of strength. We want to be an extension of your family. Our Spanish-speaking team of staff and volunteers provides services, referrals, educational and skill-building programs for Hispanic parents and children to help adjust to life in their new country.
You and your family will be embraced in the warm and helpful environment of our outreach center. There are educational, financial, prevention, job skill, and immigration services, as well as many other support services. For instance, one of our services includes free interpreting services for parents with school age children to help facilitate communication between parents and teachers about school related issues and help during parent-teacher conferences, school registration, IEP meetings, and more. We will work together to help you and your loved ones succeed!
Services are available regardless of race, religion, age, gender, disability, national origin, or income. Many of our services are provided to you at no cost or a nominal fee. Day care services are available so your children are cared for while you gain important life skills. Each of the following services offers a range of benefits. We are here to help provide you and your family with the skills and tools to move forward and thrive as an integrated part of the community. Contact us today to learn how we can help you!

Our volunteers, most of which are Spanish-speaking, are an important part of our success. Without them sharing their talents, skills, and resources, many of our services wouldn’t be possible. After receiving training in specific areas, our volunteers facilitate classes, assist in child care, help in administrative tasks, and support Hispanic Outreach Services in countless ways.
