Programs

We must guide the youth across the rites of passage bridge so they will be prepared to guide the next generation.

Our programs embrace the concept of being Un Hombre Noble — a noble man. The basis of this "nobleness" is being a man of PALABRA, a man who keeps his word. In walking a path of PALABRA men will find honor.

Con Los Padres: A nationally recognized mentoring program designed to foster the early development of responsible, nurturing parents by teaching young fathers about their child's development and their legal rights and responsibilities as fathers.

El Joven Noble: Aimed at young Latino men, this project is based on the indigenous concept of maintaining PALABRA or credible word. The program seeks to instill positive values, behaviors, and acceptance of personal responsibility by offering an innovative mix of educational and mentoring activities including a unique "rites of passage" tradition designed to instill positive cultural values.

All My Relations: An anger management program, based on the principles of Un Hombre Noble, helps Latino men identify and appropriately express anger and frustration in personal, work, and family relationships.

Project H.E.A.L (Healthy Environments & Adolescent Learning): Using visual and performing arts, advocacy, education, and leadership training, helps at-risk Latino adolescents and their families strengthen relationships and prevent substance abuse. The program incorporates culturally relevant coaching to prevent HIV infection and inter-generational substance abuse, while establishing effective communication and conflict-resolution strategies within the family.

East LA Men's Health Center: A low-cost clinic dedicated to improving the health of Latino men and their families by delivering a variety of outpatient healthcare services, including a teen reproductive health clinic, in an environment that recognizes and respects cultural sensitivities.
