These include computer and office skills training, employability skills training, health education, assistance in interacting with the public education system, English as a Second Language (ESL) classes, citizenship education, various after school programs, translation and interpreting services, assistance in obtaining legal advice, and transportation to medical and other social service appointments. On an annual basis, the agency provides service to approximately 500 mainly Latino families. The Hispanic Community in Wallingford represents about seven percent of the population and includes people from Puerto Rico and various Latin American countries including Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico and more.
