Welcome! ¡Bienvenida!
Adelante Mujeres grew out of the resolve of a small group of low-income Latina women immigrants and allies to improve the quality of life for themselves and their community. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit charitable organization and our mission is the holistic education and empowerment of low-income Latina women and their families.

Champions for Early Childhood Education (CECE) Volunteers
Adelante Mujeres is launching a new project, Champions for Early Childhood Education (CECE), focused on enhancing the services of Adelante Mujeres and partner project, PODER Family Literacy, by engaging local baby boomers to work with to low-income, Spanish-speaking immigrant children. The program was made possible by generous donors through the Oregon Community Foundation.
The project will begin in March and is currently seeking volunteers who are interested in sharing their skills to make a difference in the life of a child and participate in this outcomes-based, collaborative effort. The project boasts flexible hours and will truly make a difference in each child’s development. Contact Kristi Van Nostran for more information.
“We want to learn skills that will help us help ourselves and our families. We want to contribute to the community and make this a better place for us all. Adelante Mujeres provides a setting in which our gifts can grow and flourish.”
