Safe spaces for Latine gente.
Connections, collective healing, and mental health acceptance for us, by us.
Support, resources, and community.
Proyecto Sol is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to creating online safe spaces for Latine gente in the United States. Recognizing the unique challenges faced by our communities, Proyecto Sol offers a range of digital platforms designed to foster support, connection, and empowerment. These online spaces provide a sanctuary and safe spaces where individuals can share experiences, access resources, and find culturally relevant information to navigate various aspects of life in the U.S.
One key aspect of Proyecto Sol's mission is to address mental health concerns within the Latino community.
According to the American Psychological Association, Latinos are less likely than their white counterparts to seek mental health treatment, with only 27% of Latinos with a mental disorder receiving treatment compared to 46% of whites. Proyecto Sol aims to bridge this gap by offering accessible, stigma-free environments where individuals can receive the support they need.
Rhombicos
Proyecto Sol meetings, called Rhombicos, short for rhombicosidodecahedron, embodies one of the most intricate and beautiful shapes in the world. At Proyecto Sol, we have drawn inspiration from this remarkable geometric form to create Rhombicos Gatherings — unique events that celebrate the rich diversity and complexity of Latine cultures and upbringings.
Unlike traditional online meetings, Rhombicos Gatherings reflect the multifaceted nature of our community. These gatherings provide a safe and welcoming space where individuals from various Latine backgrounds can come together, share their stories, and find strength in their shared experiences.
Each gathering is a testament to the beauty of our collective diversity, highlighting the unique aspects of our identities while fostering a sense of unity and belonging.
