About Us

Our Pillars

Our definitions are important because they shape our foundation and the context where our work and causes are developed.
Who do we serve?
We serve people of all backgrounds, nationalities, religions, genders, and sexual orientations, with a primary focus on protecting Wyoming’s immigrant families and communities of color from systemic discrimination.
Juntos provides a holistic ecosystem of support, including “Know Your Rights” (KYR) education, the Wyoming Rapid Response Network (WYRRN), specialized legal clinics, and clinical mental health evaluations.
We believe that immigrants are the “backbone of our communities” and that their economic and social contributions are invaluable to the state’s success. Our work is driven by the necessity to eradicate the systemic inequality that targets vulnerable residents.
We operate through a “warrior spirit” (espíritu guerrero) that refuses to apologize for taking a firm stance against injustice. We build power locally by empowering directly impacted individuals to lead advocacy, lobbying, and coalition-building efforts.
Juntos was created in 2016 and attained its 501(c)(3) status in 2017. Significant growth milestones include launching the #WyoSayNo campaign in 2018, hiring the first professional staff in 2023, and expanding into specialized mental health services in 2024.
The decision to anchor Juntos Wyoming’s operations in Cheyenne and Casper is a deliberate strategic choice based on the demographic weight and economic necessity of the immigrant communities in these urban centers.

Cheyenne (Laramie County)

As the state capital and a major economic hub, Cheyenne serves as the organization's primary base for policy advocacy and legislative influence. The target population here is diverse, including a significant number of long-term residents and workers in essential services such as hospitality and construction. By maintaining a stronghold in Cheyenne, Juntos can directly challenge systemic inequalities at the seat of government while remaining accessible to the large immigrant labor force that serves as the backbone of the city's economy.

Casper (Natrona County)

Expanding into Casper via the Multicultural Collective commits Juntos to serving central Wyoming's increasing immigrant population, particularly those who may be isolated. Casper's target demographic includes newer arrivals and energy/service workers needing localized, culturally competent mental health and legal support. A physical Casper presence establishes a "community hub," fostering solidarity and delivering resources—like the 2024 mental health initiative—directly where most needed.
