About Us
“AVANCE is like a home that opens its arms as much as it can so that it can educate more women, with the purpose of giving their children a better education and having a better development of the family.” – Alicia Davila, AVANCE Graduate
AVANCE-El Paso began in 1997 as a chapter of AVANCE, Inc. a private, non-profit organization founded in San Antonio, Texas in 1973. The primary purpose of AVANCE is to prepare children for school by educating parents to be the first and the most important teachers of children. Through rigorous evaluation over 30 years and the eloquent testimony of thousands of alumni, AVANCE has been proven to have a lasting impact on the educational and economic success of some of the neediest children and families in our communities.
