Adelante Mujeres

Mission

Adelante Mujeres provides holistic education and empowerment opportunities to Latine women and their families to ensure full participation and active leadership in the community. We do this by breaking down barriers.

Bottom Line for Portland

Adelante Mujeres means ‘Women Rise Up’ and we are a grassroots organization run by and for the Latine community. We partner with more than 13,000 people per year, building Latine leadership through creative, innovative programming in education, entrepreneurship, health and leadership training. Together, we can Spark a Brighter Future by providing the tools, education, and support needed to help Latine women thrive.

Your donations make a real difference; we couldn’t do it without you!

Quote

“For me, the Chicas program was the reassurance that I needed to confidently pursue my dream. It made college a realistic achievement, contributed to my confidence as a Latina woman and was my guiding hand outside of home. I'm extremely confident that this program will continue to flourish and help give young Latinas the hope to pursue their dreams fearlessly.” – Senior Graduate  

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

At Adelante Mujeres, racial equity means breaking down barriers to a dignified life. We dismantle inequities that block opportunities for communities of color. We stand in solidarity with children, families, and all communities to build a just society.
