At AVANCE, we often remind people that ‘Parents are a child’s first teacher, and that the home is a child’s first classroom.’ Our organization provides vital resources to families during their child’s first three years of life. Few supporters have been more crucial to our organization than Henry Cisneros.
Watch Henry Cisneros and his mother Elvira discuss the AVANCE model—and why AVANCE needs your support—over a bowl of AVANCE Soup:
Your financial support will go a long way toward helping our children and parents and it will also reap rewards for you at the same time. We are reaching out into the community in search of individuals and businesses that will become financial friends of AVANCE.
