OUR STORY

In 2005, Bertha Alicia, our co-founder of La Oficina, recognized a significant need in her community. She observed that Spanish-speaking entrepreneurs and community members lacked access to bilingual support. This led her to realize the demand for such services among Spanish-speaking business owners seeking to establish or expand their businesses, as well as among individuals in need of various types of support and document preparation. To address this gap, she co-founded Centro de Aprendizaje y Desarrollo | Learning & Achievement Center (CAD*LAC) Copy Center in Wapato, WA.

Bertha's passion grew, leading her to start Centro de Servicios Comunitarios (CSC Yakima) in 2011, which later became La Oficina. La Oficina, renamed by its clients in 2022, is more than a business and resource center; it's a beacon of hope for minority and women-owned businesses and community members in Washington State, impacting countless lives.

La Oficina is the heart of the community, connecting people and organizations through cultural awareness and educational resources. They empower individuals through education, training, workshops, and literacy programs, creating positive change in the community.

Over the years, La Oficina has supported numerous businesses and community members in various sectors, earning the trust of its clients and the community. La Oficina's vision has inspired many to pursue their dreams and succeed in business, leaving a lasting legacy of empowerment and community development.
