¡Bienvenidos al Centro Civico Mexicano!
Founded in 1935 by proud Mexican immigrants to the Salt Lake City area, Centro Cívico Mexicano (CCM) is the oldest nonprofit Hispanic organization in Utah.
With early support from a local ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and a dedicated order of Catholic nuns, CCM was established as a safe and welcoming space for families to gather, celebrate, and grow.
Over the decades, CCM has evolved into a cornerstone for Hispanic and immigrant communities throughout Utah.
Today, we serve more than 10,000 individuals annually through free or low-cost cultural programming, educational initiatives, and accessible facility rentals.We invite you to explore our programs, participate in our events, and become part of a legacy that honors our founding mission: to uplift, empower, and connect.
