Employee Resource Groups

LFSA was established at CCA in 2017. Nuestro comunidad is made up of staff, faculty, and instructors from across the college who each identify in multiple ways, but belong to the larger Latinx community at CCA. The LFSA is dedicated to supporting our students, faculty and staff, fostering Latinx leaders, and promoting an inclusive community that celebrates culture, family, and education through cultural awareness, professional development, and community engagement. We seek to share our stories, serve as role models, and represent Latinx voices on campus to focus the narrative on using our vast culture and social capital to promote growth and realize our greatest potential.
