Programs: Con mi madre is unique in that it focuses on strengthening the mother- daughter bond while providing support and educational opportunities for both daughters and mothers.

Services for girls are age and grade appropriate and topics address the social, mental, and academic barriers that prevent them from attaining their educational dreams. Services for parents work to create a family culture that values education, embraces a college degree as an achievable dream for their daughters, and supports parents in raising young latinas. All services, activities, and materials offered by con mi madre are bilingual and presented in a culturally competent manner, honoring the girl's hispanic heritage.
