About

Adelante Mujeres provides holistic education and empowerment opportunities to low income Latina women and their families to ensure full participation and active leadership in the community.

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.

When Adelante Mujeres began to offer programs specifically designed for their needs, these women quickly found their voices.
