Our Pillars

AMEXCAN’s work is organized around the areas where our comunidad needs support most—Advocacy, Culture, Health, Education, Leadership, and Binational Programs. Each pillar reflects a practical commitment: deliver services, build opportunity, and strengthen long-term community power across North Carolina and beyond.
Programs that meet real life needs.

Advocacy and Civic Engagement

We protect and amplify our comunidad’s voice through trusted information, community organizing, and civic participation. From navigating public systems to engaging local decision-makers, we help families understand their rights, access resources, and build collective power so policies and services reflect our lived reality.

Health

AMEXCAN advances health access through outreach, education, and direct support that meets families where they are. We connect community members to clinics, preventive care, and essential services, reduce language and system barriers, and create pathways to healthier outcomes through culturally grounded programs and partnerships.

Education

We expand educational opportunity by supporting students and families with guidance, resources, and clear pathways forward. From school navigation and enrollment support to college readiness and advising, AMEXCAN helps remove barriers, strengthen confidence, and ensure families can make informed choices for long-term success.

Art and Culture

Culture is not decoration—it’s community infrastructure. AMEXCAN celebrates and preserves Mexican and Latino identity through events, arts programming, and cultural education that builds pride and belonging. We create spaces for expression across generations and strengthen community ties through shared traditions and storytelling.

AMEXCAN Mexico

AMEXCAN México strengthens cross-border connection through binational support, communication, and coordination for families with ties on both sides. We help navigate documentation needs, connect community members to trusted resources, and build partnerships that reinforce dignity, opportunity, and family unity across borders.

Leadership

Leadership is how we sustain progress. AMEXCAN develops community leaders through training, mentorship, and opportunities to serve. We invest in people who can organize, advocate, and lead with integrity—so our community is represented in the spaces where decisions are made and solutions are shaped.
