TRANSCRIPT
We celebrate more than 27 years providing valuable programs and much needed support to our community, yet we recognize there is still much more to do.
For this, we recently moved into a new location in San Bruno
where we operate a licensed Substance Abuse Outpatient Facility, a Youth Development Program and Health Education Groups at the Center.

TLC
It all started when a group of teenage girls
walked into our Central Valley office of Nuevo
Comienzo asking for help with reproductive
issues, healthy relationships and setting their
life goals. The ADELANTE LATINA program
(Latinas Moving Forward) took root. Soon
afterwards when parents asked for a similar
program for their boys, we responded with
LOS GUERREROS (Proud Warrior).
Programs are held on the campus of Orosi
High School, where 250 teens have completed
since 2010. Teen pregnancy rates have
declined by 50%, gang membership is down,
high school graduation is up, and most of the
youth continue on to college.
These Youth Programs motivate and inspire
participants to learn more about themselves,
their family and their Latino culture. They
reduce risky behaviors, increase protective
factors such as building a healthy social
network, and are showing greater
responsibility to themselves and their families.
CORE VALUES
PROUD ADELANTE LATINA GRADUATES
We are rooted in community service and
advocacy with the mission of restoring ALL
people holistically, in an environment of love
and understanding that represents our culture,
improving quality of life.
Our non-judgmental and safe environment
promotes healthy lifestyles among Latino
populations to lessen social disparities, reduce
health disparities, to improve health status,
with an ultimate goal to reach health equity.
