Encuentro, which translated from Spanish means both a “meeting place” and an “experience,” is just that.

As a Latino immigrant community center located in the heart of Central New Mexico, Encuentro provides a welcoming place where immigrants can come together not only to develop skills but to connect with one another to begin re-building community.

Encuentro is located in the historic neighborhood of Barelas in downtown Albuquerque. We share our building with El Centro de Igualdad y Derechos which maximizes our organizations’ ability to collaborate and makes multiple resources available to the community in one location.
