The Board of Directors of ¿Oíste? The Latino Civic Education Initiative, Inc. seeks a dynamic and skilled Executive Director for an exciting and challenging opportunity.

  • The Organization and Mission

    ¿Oíste? is the first and only statewide Latino civic education organization in Massachusetts, and a bold, independent voice for Latino civic engagement. As a 501c3 and 501c4 with a strong local and statewide focus, the mission of ¿Oíste? is to promote the principles and practice of democracy and to advance the political, social and economic standing of Latinos and Latinas in the state.

    ¿Oíste? was founded in 1999 by a group of Latino activists from across the state, who were concerned about the lack of Latino political representation and civic participation in Massachusetts. ¿Oíste? believes that civic education, leadership development and civic engagement are pathways to individual and community empowerment. Its programs help Latinos and Latinas critically and civically engage in their communities, and change systems and structures that have historically barricaded access to quality education, health care, housing and economic development.

    Oiste began as a 501(c)4 organization with a primary focus of providing non-partisan candidate trainings to Latinos who planned to run for office. This focus quickly expanded to include civic education, leadership development and advocacy efforts. In 2001, ¿Oíste? established a 501(c)3 called the ¿Oíste? Latino Education Initiative in order to expand its focus. In 2002, ¿Oíste? defined what has become a unique organizational model: a state-wide system of regional councils with active members, who reside locally and meet monthly to advance the organizational mission.

    ¿Oíste? is recognized for outstanding civic engagement training and education, leadership development programs, and regional councils with statewide constituents. The organization's focused efforts and notable achievements include; effectively lobbying statewide legislators, advancing voting rights, advocating for public policy changes, increasing Latino presence in political campaigns, running for office and getting elected. Since ¿Oíste?'s inception, it has consistently advocated for clean elections and voting rights, putting Latino issues on the map across the state through coverage in major media outlets, including the Boston Globe, The Republican, the Lawrence Eagle Tribune, the Springfield Gazette, BBC, PBS, local TV and radio. As a result of ¿Oíste?'s efforts throughout the Commonwealth, thousands of Latinos and other people of color, have become civically engaged at the grassroots level through local civic education trainings, local and statewide advocacy efforts, and political campaigns.
