Rooted in Culture. Driven by Knowledge. Built for Our Community.
At Capacitando.org, our mission is to protect and promote the Latino/Hispano/Chicanx culture, history, and language. We do this by developing meaningful strategies and resources for students, teachers, schools—and the broader community that supports them. This work grows stronger with you. Explore our materials, engage with our content, and support our partners as we build a space where we all contribute to and benefit from each other’s growth.
Weekly Feature
Adalberto Elías González
Featured Artist of the Week
Each week, Capacitando highlights individuals whose work has enriched Hispano/Latino/Chicanx/Mestizo culture and helped shape our understanding of history, identity, and community.
- Celebrating a Golden Age of Storytelling. Explore the career of Adalberto Elías González, one of the memorable performers of the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema, whose work helped bring Mexican humor, language, and everyday life to audiences across the Spanish-speaking world.
- Who Tells the Story Matters. Film is more than entertainment—it shapes how people understand history, culture, and identity. The stories that appear on screen influence how both our own communities and the wider world remember the past. When a community tells its own stories, it has a greater voice in shaping how its history and experiences are understood.
- Building a Stronger Cultural Future. Every generation has a responsibility to support its artists, filmmakers, writers, musicians, and educators. By creating and sustaining a market for our own artistic expression, we strengthen our economy, preserve our heritage, and ensure that our voices continue to inspire generations to come.
