Manos Unidas is a multicultural cooperative based organization that strives to unearth the common strengths and innate skills of their under heard community through shared bilingual resources, empowerment ventures, living arts, cross cultural organizing, and cooperative economy initiatives. They aim to use popular education to create a network of mutual aid while encouraging civic engagement and workforce readiness in central Berkshire County (and recently into the Pioneer Valley). Working alongside low income, immigrant, youth, and differently abled community citizens, they are unfolding a culture of “Beloved Community” (MLK Jr), while crossing boundaries of race, class culture, language, ability, and belief hand in hand.
