Whenever language and cultural barriers deny U.S. Hispanics basic civil entitlements, SRF is there to help: How do I apply for a Small Business Loan? What scholarships are available for my children? How can I get health insurance? SRF answers these questions for U.S. Hispanics through mass media, community outreach, information and referral, and training.

SRF's Linea Nacional de Recursos Hispanos (National Hispanic Resource Helpline) receives calls Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 7:00pm, from Spanish-speakers seeking health resources, education, and community information (800-473-3003).

SRF also campaigns on behalf of such organizations as the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, and other grant makers that wish to reach out to the Hispanic community. Our Celebra la Ciencia program, for example, offers science exhibits at Latino community festivals around the country.

Through our Student Fellows initiative, SRF trains young people in community outreach.

In partnership with La Red Hispana, (Hispanic Radio Network,) SRF also develops quality informational radio programming on science, technology, environment, health, law, social justice, the arts, and culture.
