The Center for Community Advocacy (CCA) works to identify, cultivate, and recognize leadership from farmworkers and low-income families to expand opportunities in their lives by providing education, orientation, spaces for engagement, and legal support. The organization also provides behavioral health-Families Fuertes programming that helps families identify, understand, and function better as a family and cultivate mental health and well-being. The majority of program participants speak a language other than English, such as Spanish or indigenous languages. Programs are offered for youth and adults, all with the goal of empowering farmworkers and their whole families to serve as leaders for their neighborhoods. Workshops, training, and mentoring are provided around issues such as civic engagement, economic development, and housing rights, with specific youth-focused programs that allow them to increase their voice within the community.
CCA’s staff is available to meet with clients in the field, at their place of residence, in the evening or after normal working hours, by appointment.
