The Community Service Organization, a grassroots social service agency that originated in Los Angeles in the late 1940s, is
generally identified by its male leadership. Research conducted for the present oral history, however, indicates that Mexican
American women were essential to the founding of the organization, as well as to its success during the forty-six years it was
in operation. This paper is a history of the founding of the CSO based on interviews with eleven Mexican American women
and one Mexican American man, all of whom were founding members.
