Our Story & Values

Sister Barbara Raymond (left) and Bridget Cooke,
Co-Founders of Adelante Mujeres

Founded in 2002 by Bridget Cooke, Sister Barbara Raymond and 15 Latina mothers, Adelante Mujeres was created to do something no other nonprofit was doing in the state of Oregon: focus on the needs of marginalized immigrant Latina women. 

Through their work with the Latino community in other local organizations, Bridget and Barbara noticed that Latina moms did not actively participate in classes or activities, and often remained isolated in their homes.

How It All Began:
