Latinos United!

The Future is Latino!  But who are Latinos? Right now, there isn’t much data to tell us that.  So, For the first time in North Carolina history, Camino is conducting a comprehensive assessment to better understand the life experiences, strengths, and needs of Latino communities throughout the state. This is the first study that targets the needs of Latino communities since 2006. Help us spread the word and empower Latinos all over the state to let their voices be heard.

Please take this 15-minute survey to tell us about you, your life experiences, your skills, and your needs. We want to hear from all Latino adults (18 or older) living in NC. By participating in this survey, you can help us elevate Latinos so we can all live healthier and happier lives. The survey is anonymous and your responses will not be shared with anyone. This survey is the first step in helping and improving our community. Your voice, experiences, and ideas are important and deserve to be heard! Data from the survey can help better the future for you, your family, and your community!
