Equipping Latino, immigrant families in under-resourced neighborhoods for community transformation.

We envision a world where dignity and love tears down inequality, exclusion, and unjust systems that inhibit the opportunity for all to flourish. We believe within over-looked and under-resourced neighborhoods, there exists an abundance of leaders, thinkers, and mobilizers who have the capacity to usher in this reality by transforming their own communities and beyond…

Solidarity was born when a small group of mission-minded college students from Hope International University decided to meet in a rented room of a small apartment complex and follow God’s call to love their neighbor. Over the course of 20 years, Solidarity has evolved from a small group of idealistic college students, to an organized group that executed service projects, to a single community center and teen program in a garage, and finally to an official nonprofit that equips and amplifies immigrant and Latino families in the Garnet and Maple communities of Fullerton. Solidarity has come a long way since eight college students first gathered in 2001. Our story highlights God’s sovereignty in orchestrating every step so that we could meet the exact people who would connect us to these two communities, enter spaces where we were graciously accepted by locals, and build relationships with families that will last forever.
