Los Cien Sonoma County

About Us

Los Cien is an equity-focused, membership-driven organization uniting diverse groups in Sonoma County to foster belonging, equity, and inclusion through collaborative events and monthly convenings.

Los Cien was launched as a non-profit organization in 2009. Since our humble roots began and a group of community leaders came together in the backroom of Mary’s Pizza Shack, it has always been clear that we had a vision for uniting our community. At that moment, before it became a non-profit, Los Cien was loosely known as “Latino Leaders.”

Los Cien’s roots and legacy are part of an important historical context of Latinos rising to power. The name Los Cien comes from founding member Lisa Carreño’s native Cuban community in West Tampa, Florida.

Over the last 15 years, Los Cien has transformed into an equity-focused, membership-driven organization, uniting many different types of people, community leaders, organizations, businesses, and government agencies, leading to the most diverse community events in Sonoma County and the North Bay.

Los Cien is dedicated to building belonging through collaborative monthly convenings centered around equity and inclusion and addressing the detrimental effects of current systems on marginalized communities in Sonoma County.

Los Cien prides itself on its signature events that celebrate the rich and diverse Latine culture in Sonoma County and beyond. They have hosted over 160 convenings throughout Sonoma County, and their membership has reached 350 paid members who help fuel their work.
