Adelante Mujeres is a non-profit, community organization in Forest Grove, Oregon that provides holistic education and empowerment opportunities to low-income Latina women and their families. In 2002, a small group of low-income Latina immigrants and their allies sought out to improve the quality of life for themselves and their community, thus Adelante Mujeres was born. From Adult Education and Early Childhood Education to Chicas Youth Development, Sustainable Agriculture, Small Business Development, and the Forest Grove Farmers Market, Adelante Mujeres’ education-based programs serve over 500 Latino families in Washington County every year.
Our live and silent auctions encourage donations at our annual Fiesta of Hope. That fundraising event's income provides funding for our programs throughout the year.

Mission Statement
We're on a mission to build a more just society by empowering Latinas to lead. 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.
Description
Adelante Mujeres was founded in 2002 by Bridget Cooke and Sister Barbara Raymond. Through their work in other local organizations, Bridget and Barbara noticed that Latina women did not actively participate in the programs. They founded Adelante Mujeres to empower these women, who were often relegated to the home. As the founders suspected, when presented the opportunity to attend a program focused on and developed for women, these same women quickly found their voices. For over 10 years, Adelante Mujeres has served western Washington County by providing holistic education and empowerment opportunities to low income Latina women and their families, in order to ensure full participation and active leadership in the community.
