Adelante Mujeres is a non-profit organization that provides education, career and economic development and support services for low-income Latina families throughout Washington County. Adelante offers these services through three main programs. A Small Business Development Program provides training, support and networking for low-income Latinos interested in beginning their own business, particularly in food and agricultural industries. The Education Program offers classes for low-income Latina women, readying them to obtain their GEDs, improve English skills, and enhance self-esteem and leadership capacities. And finally, Adelante manages the Forest Grove Farmers Market which is an opportunity for our participants and the greater community to sell and buy local and organic produce.
These different programs along with strong partnerships will allow us to support all three types of Individual Development Accounts in order to serve as many members of the community as possible
