Happy Holidays
As Christmas approaches, we ask that you remember AVANCE in your holiday planning. AVANCE has a successful 40-year history of helping parents break the cycle of abuse and poverty through two-generation parenting programs, home visits and family support.
Our work has a powerful impact not only on the families that we work with directly, but also on the larger community as a whole. A study of the AVANCE Parent-Child Education Program (PCEP) revealed:*
- 93% of children are school-ready when entering school.
- 90% of PCEP children stayed in school (compared to the Texas average of 67%).
- 216% increase in mothers with higher education degrees.
- 127% increase in parental employment.
- 143% increase in home ownership among parents.
This holiday season, we are offering you the opportunity to help AVANCE. Your generous end of year gift** will bolster AVANCE's continued support of families. Please consider donating to AVANCE with an annual or monthly gift to continue our mission of Unlocking America's Potential by strengthening families.
Warmest holiday wishes from our family to yours,
Richard J. Noriega, President and CEO

Ancient, Powerful, and Particularly Feminine: Righting Our Relationship with Mama Earth
We are living in a patriarchal system that prioritizes power, profit, and a hypercompetitive culture that overvalues individualism. We can bring back balance by leaning into feminine ways of organizing, building, and creating space for the reality we want to build.

If I Weren’t an Activist
I never planned on being an activist. I wanted to be an artist, or even an architect, or maybe a chef. But would I have truly been fulfilled in those roles? Would I have wound up calling those exhausting and tiring too? I don’t think I’ll ever get to find out. But my point here is that people should not have to work so hard, fight so hard, beg so hard, for basic human rights. In a perfect world, human rights activists wouldn’t exist.
