Adelante’s Mission is to empower Latinx youth to achieve their dreams and contribute
as creative and educated world citizens.
What We Do
Adelante is a non-profit organization in Louisville, Kentucky devoted to empowering Latinx youth. We engage our Achievers and parents in long-term academic, mentoring, and personal enrichment programs. We believe that with guidance and support, every student can achieve, whatever that means for them. While we endorse higher education as the surest tool for success, we recognize there are various paths toward successful and fulfilling lives. Our programs focus on five core pillars and are designed to encourage the holistic development of our Achievers in close partnership with their parents and families. Lastly, our programs and services are provided free of charge to our Achievers and their families.
