A dedicated NALFO Election Center will be unveiled with civic resources for all Latino Greeks to mobilize as easy-lift tools for registering voters and empowering their fraternities and sororities to make a plan to vote.

Civic engagement organization Voto Latino is partnering with the National Association of Latino Fraternal Organizations (NALFO) to increase voter registration and turnout among Latino college students.

The collaboration will also give Latino sorority and fraternity members an opportunity to develop leadership skills, participate in community service, and empower and foster civic engagement. 

“This collaboration with NALFO represents a powerful step forward in mobilizing Latino youth. We are so thankful for NALFO’s commitment to empower Latino voters ahead of a pivotal election,” Voto Latino Foundation (VLF) Co-Founder and President Maria Teresa Kumar said in a press release. “By combining our efforts, we can ensure that the voices of young Latinos are heard and that they play a crucial role in shaping the future of our country.”

A dedicated NALFO Election Center will be unveiled with civic resources for all Latino Greeks to mobilize as easy-lift tools for registering voters and empowering their fraternities and sororities to make a plan to vote. And NALFO organizations will activate these tools on-campus, through in-person campus initiatives and digital outreach in partnership with Voto Latino. 

“NALFO is proud to embrace our motto, Latino Greeks United, via a partnership with VLF to show how representation matters in addressing Latino issues through civic engagement,” said National Association of Latino Fraternal Organizations, Inc. President Cristina Luna. “Our organizations are committed to leading the way on college campuses to empower the Latino community.”
