I went to a board meeting of Adelante Mujeres and was deeply impressed by several things. One: the organization provides 91% of revenue to their programs. An overhead under 10% is phenomenal, and it works because everyone there is committed to serving their clients and running their innovative empowering programs. Two: young people spoke to the board, some of them volunteers and some young women being served by the organization's programs. In any case, the organization clearly values the voices of young adults, and especially young women. A young Latina explained to me how a year ago, she would not have been capable of addressing the board. Now she can describe an event she attended, speaking English, showing confidence and valuing her own experience.
