Mission: To bring Conejo Valley Latino voices into important community conversations regarding our schools, city and recreation opportunities.
Our organization began with a desire to address concerns within the Conejo Valley Spanish speaking community regarding opportunities and services offered to our children in the local public schools.
Spanish speaking families, regardless of immigration status, fluency, or income, benefit from having a clear voice in our community. Adelante Comunidad Conejo is working to build a strong voice for Latino families here in the Conejo Valley.
We elected our first officers on August 28, 2018. Lilian nee Mendoza Teran was the first president of Adelante Comunidad Conejo. Our efforts began with two primary areas of focus; Education and Community Awareness. A delegation of Adelante members met with the Conejo Valley Unified School District leadership regarding concerns about services being offered and the flow of information to and from Spanish speaking families in the district.
We organize and advocate for those not yet ready to speak on their own behalf and seek out opportunities for Latino families to reach their goals by including them in multi-generational, multicultural activities.
Our food rescue efforts are creating new opportunities for Latinos to contribute to community life in partnership with allies in the community.
