Carmen Guevara

Arriving from El Salvador in 2014, Carmen Guevara graduated from Smith College in 2022. She is currently a victim advocate for the Berkshire DA Office in the Child Abuse and Human Trafficking Unit. Guevara also volunteers at Latinas413 as coordinator for the Mentorship Program, which provides scholarships for Latina students wanting to pursue higher education. According to Guevara, access to education is a huge need in our Spanish-speaking community, and many feel disconnected and afraid to ask for help. “Carmen has a big impact on the Latina community,” says Laura Cabrera, founding member of Latinas413.
