       "Since its incorporation to Chicago in the early 1970’s, Universidad Popular (UP) has become known as a place where community residents come to learn with, by and from one another."

       Welcome to our new development, this website was created to represent our organization to the on-line population. As our organization continues to grow we wish to provide you with information of our mission along with our programs and current events. We currently offer our services to over 600 adults and children in the Pilsen, Little Village, and Chicago Lawn areas of Chicago.

       The world in which most Latinos live in Chicago has been dramatically reduced due to linguistic, economic and legal limitations. In UP's view, this is a rather disempowering construct; to counterbalance such a disempowering force, it began exploring ways to expand the boundaries of people's worlds in our neighborhoods and out of it came the Digital Literacy Program (DILIPRO) whose mission is to enable people to travel far beyond the above-said boundaries. This way, people will be a time citizen of the global society.
