About CEUS

Centro Comunitario CEUS is run by Comitė En Unión para Salvadoreňos (CEUS), a non-profit organization founded by immigrants on a philosophy of self-reliance. Volunteers are a key part of CEUS, and the group is funded mainly with donations and program fees.

CEUS has three part-time employees - a staff attorney, a community organizer and an executive director - and more than a dozen community members also help run the programs, which assist more than 1,000 people each year. The group is steered by a nine-member Board of Directors elected annually by participants in the CEUS membership program.

CEUS works closely with a range of like-minded groups around the country to strengthen community leadership and advocacy skills, and develop programs. They include the Salvadoran Committee Of New Jersey, American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) and the Salvadoran-American National Network (SANN), a nationwide group of Central American immigrants.
