About the Spanish Community of Wallingford (SCOW)
At SCOW, community is our strength. SCOW supports the Wallingford community with programs exemplifying our core values: guidance, education, and sharing.
- Our social service referrals guide people to find the services offered to everyone in the Wallingford community.
- Our educational programs help children take full advantage of their educational opportunities and help adults gain the confidence to fully participate in U.S. society.
- Our music and dance programs enable all Latinos to share the rich and varied cultures of their native countries, adding to the mosaic of American culture. Conversely, these programs help the children of the Hispanic community to retain the cultural heritage their parents brought with them.
Thank you for supporting our mission! Together we make a difference.
