As a sophomore at Villanova University, Jessica Sardina enrolled in an ESL class with an attached service component. It was through this class that Jessica was introduced to the CCATE community through weekly visits to the organization in Norristown

To Emma, CCATE is so special because it focuses on long-term social change, rather than temporary social service. She enjoys seeing the community thrive together, dream big, and deny any internalization or limits placed on them by external oppression.

The main goal of the collective is to strive for equity in health access within the Latinx immigrant community of CCATE and Norristown.

CCATE is a “wonderful, colorful, vibrant place for the community to enjoy.”

“If I could help [CCATE] full time, I would,” Marian Vidaurri, CCATE Board Member, says sincerely. “I’ve never seen anything like this anywhere.”
