Americas Community Center at the Colombian Consulate Service Fair: A Weekend of Impact and Connection

Americas Community Center at the Colombian Consulate “Feria de Servicios”

On Saturday, May 31st, and Sunday, June 1stAmericas Community Center proudly participated in the “Feria de Servicios” hosted by the Consulate of Colombia in Miami—an event dedicated to connecting the Colombian community with critical services, resources, and opportunities.

Held at a vibrant venue filled with thousands of attendees, the event became a true reflection of community strength and collaboration. Representing the “Social” section at Table M, our dedicated team of volunteers and fellows spent the weekend warmly welcoming families, answering questions, and offering information about the many programs and services we provide to support immigrant communities in South Florida.

One of the highlights of the weekend came on Sunday, when we took to the main stage for a powerful financial empowerment seminar, led by our own Victoria Sánchez—a respected member of our Board of Advisors. Her session provided attendees with practical tools and guidance to take charge of their financial futures—part of our ongoing mission to equip families with knowledge and confidence.

We extend a heartfelt thank you to the incredible volunteers who made this event possible. Your passion and commitment are what fuel our work and expand our impact every day.

The Feria was also a fantastic opportunity to build new connections—including inspiring professionals like Dr. Juan Carlos Vélez, a Colombian surgeon dedicated to serving the community in Colombia.

This weekend reminded us once again of the power of community, collaboration, and showing up for one another. We are honored to have been part of such a meaningful event and look forward to many more opportunities to serve, connect, and uplift.
