Program Evaluation Data Analyst at Chicanos Por La Causa – Phoenix, Arizona

Because good decisions start with good data - evaluating today to improve tomorrow!

Chicanos Por La Causa, Inc. (CPLC) is a non-profit organization and one of the largest Hispanic Community Development Corporations in the United States. The organization began with a group of student and community activists in 1967, and was incorporated and received non-profit status in 1969 to fight discrimination against the Mexican American community. Inspired by Dolores Huerta and Cesar Chavez, we advocated for equity in education, politics, and labor conditions. CPLC is committed to empowering individuals through health & human services, housing, education, and economic development. Today, CPLC provides services to people of all backgrounds while honoring our Mexican-American roots.
