Our mission
To create a social and professional association that provides support, retention, and career development to its members. To promote recruitment through education, visibility, and role modeling, thus bridging the gap between The Fire Department and Emergency Medical Services within the Latino Community.
about us
Latino Outreach Society is a group of Local 21 members dedicated to building connections with one another and in Saint Paul’s Latino community.
From LOS Bomberos President Joaquin Rosales:
“The idea of LOS Bomberos is twofold. First, to create an informal support system and build community amongst our membership to assist with retention, especially for the newest members of Local 21. This function of LOS Bomberos is an additional layer to what Local 21 already provides. That’s another beauty of our Group; its ability to be all inclusive. People might see our name or read our Mission Statement and think that they have to be brown to be down. That’s not the case. Our strength is in the diversity of our membership. The second function of the group is to offer community outreach and education in hopes of bridging the gap between the Fire/EMS services and the Latino Community. This Group is how we make our Department stronger, our quality of service better, and our connections to the residents we serve more impactful.”
