This study resulted in the elaboration of an inventory of the organizations and a description of some of their main characteristics such as the years in which they were formed and goals; whether they are formally registered; major characteristics of the leaders of the organizations and the members related to class, gender, ethnicity, regions of origin, social networking, and individual attributes related to leadership; and the characteristics of their engagement in Miami-Dade County and in localities and communities in Nicaragua.
