Adelante, Inc. was founded in 1996 as a community-based family services and resource agency. The agency is committed to helping its culturally and ethnically diverse Latino community to move forward. Its vision is a healthy, empowered Latino community that is able to celebrate its diversity, history, and contributions to the greater Toledo community. Since its inception, Latino families have benefited from Adelante’s culturally-specific programs in violence prevention and alcohol, tobacco, and other drug prevention services. The organization currently offers services in mentoring, tutoring, mental health awareness, crime awareness, HIV/AIDS prevention, and a smoking cessation program.
