Maria Cadenas, Executive Director of Ventures-"Driven by Love & Justice"
Ventures partners with rural Latino working-class families in California’s Central Coast to implement transformational programs that ensure a shared and prosperous economic future for all.
Their transformational programs make certain that individuals understand and use their economic and political power. From building their savings to advocating for a living wage, our approach builds community and connects financial stability, wealth building, and self-determination. Their work creates dignity by recognizing, acknowledging, and valuing our community members’ leadership in making change happen.
