The Latino Initiative

for Wayne-Sampson-Duplin Counties

A program of UNC's Center for International Understanding, the Latino Initiative helps policy makers and community leaders gain capacity to guide their communities through dramatic demographic changes.

With assistance from Mt. Olive Pickle Company, Inc., a team of 28 public policy and business leaders from Wayne, Sampson and Duplin counties participated in a Latino Initiative program in 2005. The team spent two days of orientation and a week in Mexico learning firsthand the cultural, political, social and economic pressures that lead many Mexicans to come to North Carolina.
