We are building a more just society by empowering Latina women to lead.
About us
Awarded: 2018 Oregon Business’s 3rd Best Large Non-Profit to Work for in Oregon Adelante Mujeres is building a more just society by empowering Latina women to lead. We believe that a healthy and vibrant Latino community strengthens our society, therefore our mission is to provide holistic education and empowerment opportunities to low-income Latina women and their families, in Washington County, OR., to ensure full participation and active leadership in the community. Latina women, when empowered, will provide leadership in their families and in our community that is rooted in strength, resolve, inclusivity, and nourishment. Since our founding in 2002, we have worked with over 10,000 Latino families, offering comprehensive, life-changing services. Because we believe that all people have the innate capacity for growth and transformation, we serve families through culturally-competent education and microenterprise programs, including: Adult and Early Childhood Education, Chicas Youth Development, ESPERE Violence Reduction, Empresas Small Business Development, Sustainable Agriculture, and the Forest Grove Farmers Market/Nourish the Community. Quality education is a fundamental right of all people and a prerequisite to an engaged community. Our programs provide the tools of education, combined with healing and leadership skills, to ensure the social-emotional and educational well-being of the whole individual. Our success has been rooted in our shared values, in which our organization, staff, and community of participants are dedicated to expressing in everything we do: Believe in yourself and others and commit to personal growth Be in solidarity with the community Love and respect the Earth

For a while I forgot about my goals and what I wanted to be, about my achievements.” - Alma SanJuan Hear the inspiring story of Alma Sanjuan, passionate advocate for Latine women and their families, at Fiesta of Hope 2024. 🌟✨
