Empowering the Latinas of the Central Valley
Hispanic women are much more likely than non-Hispanic women to live in poverty. Many times they lack the education, experience and skills – even the self-confidence – to pursue gainful and stable income; thus the Latina immigrant has the immense potential of improving her economic situation, as well as that of her family and become agent of change.
We are here to help, empower, and encourage.

Latina of the Week:
No one job can truly define Yamilet. She is the person you meet who is completely involved in community activities, intensely focused on helping people find healthcare and mental health services. She is a tireless advocate for those who have no voice. Her typical schedule is 60-70 hours a week and sometimes more. Regardless of the hours, she loves what she does and where she works. Helping people is part of the fabric of who Yamilet is and will always be.
