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.

San Francisco, San Mateo County, Central Valley

We are an equal opportunity Recovery Community

Organization who will not allow discrimination based on

the following protected categories: Race, Color, Creed,

Religion, National origin, Ancestry, Age, Sex, Sexual

Orientation, Gender identity (transgender status), Do-

mestic Partner status, Marital status, Disability, AIDS/

HIV status, Height, Weight and Gender Expression.

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.
