The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) is founded in 1929, is the nation’s largest and oldest civil rights volunteer-based organization that empowers Hispanic Americans and builds strong Latino communities. Headquartered in Washington, DC, with 1,000 councils around the United States and Puerto Rico, LULAC’s programs, services and advocacy address the most important issues for Latinos, meeting critical needs of today and the future

LULAC was created at a time in our country’s history when Hispanics were denied basic civil and human rights, despite contributions to American society. The founders of LULAC created an organization that empowers its members to create and develop opportunities where they are needed most. 

All for One and One for All

The Mission of LULAC is to advance economic condition, educational attainment, political influence, housing, health and civil rights for Latinos. 

Iowa City Council 308 was chartered in 2012. This year we will be awarding $7,500 to graduating seniors and post-graduates, all from Johnson County and the U of I. Iowa LULAC Councils will be awarding over $85,000 to 104 students for the 2026-2027 school year.
