Our primary mission is to help Hispanics fulfill the American Dream by promoting the integration of Hispanics into American society. HCF believes that the best way to succeed in America is to become an American and understand what makes America unique.

Our motto is: “Integrate and succeed.”

Is integration the same as assimilation? That depends on your definition. To HCF, integration means becoming good citizens by learning English as well as possible, and absorbing and respecting basic American values and traditions. It does not mean losing all aspects of our Hispanic heritage (what would America be without Latin food and music?!), nor eliminating the Spanish language.

We strongly encourage retaining Spanish as a second language, and learning additional languages as well.

HCF also educates and informs Hispanics, and non-Hispanics alike, about the positive role played by successful and patriotic Hispanic-Americans throughout our history.
