Association of Mexicans in North Carolina, Inc. (AMEXCAN)

What Association of Mexicans in North Carolina, Inc. (AMEXCAN) does

AMEXCAN (Association of Mexicans in North Carolina, Inc.) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2001 and headquartered in Greenville, North Carolina, that delivers free, bilingual, culturally competent services to Mexican and Latino communities across North Carolina and binational partner communities in Mexico. Operating across six program pillars — Advocacy and Civic Engagement, Education, Health, Art and Culture, Binational Programs, and Leadership — the organization runs approximately 25 distinct programs including the Almas Mexicanas family reunification initiative, Consulados Móviles (mobile consulate events serving up to 1,500 people per event), ESL instruction (Puente Doble), youth leadership development, health fairs, promotora networks in 15+ North Carolina counties, voter participation drives (Mi Voto Cuenta), and annual cultural celebrations. Co-Executive Directors Maria Elizabeth Medina-Kremer and Marlene Castillo lead a team of roughly 14 staff plus 5–8 university interns per semester, supported by Founder/Advisor Juvencio Rocha-Peralta.

The organization's service delivery model is community-led: outreach and programs are executed through promotoras (community health workers), university student interns, and volunteers embedded in rural and urban communities, with services delivered at schools, churches, farms, community centers, and events. AMEXCAN does not operate a proprietary technology platform; its methodology rests on community organizing, bicultural/bilingual program design, and a communications stack that includes the monthly digital magazine 'La Voz de la Comunidad', a bilingual email newsletter, and active social media presence. Partnerships anchor the operating model: a 10+ year relationship with the Mexican Consulate General in Raleigh, 24 binational partners, 45+ school/community partners, 18 health partners, and convening roles in at least five statewide Latino networks (NC Latinx Task Force, NC Latinx Resource Network, NC Latinx Disaster Recovery Alliance, NC Latinx Small Business Network, NC Latinx Alliance).

AMEXCAN is funded entirely through donations — financial information is not publicly disclosed, and there are no paid services or tiered pricing structures — and serves all beneficiaries at no cost. The organization reports reaching 10,000+ community members annually, with a 55% year-over-year increase in participation starting 2024, and recently launched its AMEXCAN Triangle regional chapter in Raleigh (February 2026) to extend operations into the Research Triangle. The Almas Mexicanas family reunification program is supported by AMEXCAN Mexico, with a co-developed community center (Centro Comunitario María Peralta) opening in Papantla, Mexico in 2026.

Direct peers

• CASA: Mid-Atlantic immigrant advocacy and services organization serving Latino and immigrant working-class communities in Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and beyond. Comparable as a community-based nonprofit delivering citizenship/ESL classes, legal services, health navigation, and civic engagement to immigrant families — a similar operating model to AMEXCAN's wraparound approach.
• Centro de los Derechos del Migrante: Binational migrant worker support organization focused on farmworkers and low-wage migrant workers in the US and Mexico. Directly comparable to AMEXCAN's NC Latinx Agricultural Workers Resource Network, addressing health, labor rights, and cross-border documentation for the same population segment.
• CHIRLA (Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights): Los Angeles-based immigrant rights organization providing legal services, civic engagement, health education, and community organizing to immigrant families. Comparable operating model to AMEXCAN across the same pillars (legal, health, civic, education), though geographically focused on Southern California.

Broad incumbents

• Hispanic Federation: National Latino nonprofit providing direct services, advocacy, and grantmaking across the East Coast and Puerto Rico, with strong presence in education, health, and immigration. Comparable programmatic portfolio (education, health fairs, civic engagement, family services) though operating at larger scale and broader geographic footprint than AMEXCAN.
• UnidosUS: National Latino civil rights and advocacy organization (formerly NCLR) operating across 30+ states with affiliated community-based organizations. Comparable as a higher-level umbrella serving overlapping constituents in education, health, civic engagement, and immigration support, with deeper federal funding access but less binational/local presence than AMEXCAN.
• National Immigration Forum: National advocacy organization promoting immigration policies and immigrant integration. Comparable as an immigrant-serving organization with policy, education, and integration programming, though focused on federal-level advocacy rather than community-based direct service delivery like AMEXCAN.
• LULAC (League of United Latin American Citizens): Oldest and largest Latino civil rights organization in the US, with councils nationwide delivering civic engagement, education, and immigration support programs. Comparable in mission (Latino civic participation, education, advocacy) but operates at significantly greater scale and geographic breadth than AMEXCAN.
• Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF): National Latino legal advocacy organization focused on civil rights, immigration, education, and voting rights through litigation and policy. Comparable in mission to AMEXCAN's advocacy pillar (My Voto Cuenta, legal academy workshops), but functions at a national litigation/policy level rather than community direct-service.

Emerging players

• Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU): National organization representing Hispanic-Serving Institutions, focused on higher education access and success for Latino students. Partially comparable to AMEXCAN's education pillar (Líderes del Futuro, college preparation, parental engagement) but focused on postsecondary institutions rather than community-based delivery.

Regional players

• El Pueblo: North Carolina-based Latino advocacy and policy organization serving the Triangle region (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill). Directly comparable to AMEXCAN as a fellow NC Latino nonprofit and named partner in the AMEXCAN Triangle coalition; both provide civic engagement, education, and community support to Latino families.
