Adelante Mujeres fosters the empowerment of women who are often relegated to the home. The program helps often isolated participants to build friendships, engage in the community, celebrate their cultural heritage, and improve skills and self-esteem. Our holistic approach aims to build stronger families, healthier communities, and foster respect for our planet. Adelante Mujeres‘ mission is the holistic education and empowerment of low-income Latina women and their families. The organization strives to:

• Increase opportunities for family and community self-determination through holistic education, workforce and entrepreneurial training and family literacy.
• Build community through leadership development and the search for solutions to common concerns. 
• Preserve, foster and share participants’ cultural heritage with the wider community and facilitate intercultural exchange.
• Advocate ecological awareness and action for a sustainable economy and healthy communities.
