I’m proud of the community we’ve built together.

We are students, parents, abuelos, innovators, helpers, and dreamers—all coming together to create a more equitable future for all.

Today, I’m excited to share a new member of our Familia is joining us in our mission!

Meet Amanecer Community Counseling Service, a nonprofit organization in Los Angeles County:

Amanecer was founded in 1975 by Dr. Cecil Hoffman under the belief that “the life-restoring benefits of counseling” should be available to all who need them. Through mental health services, they help people heal from trauma, unlock their potential, and establish new beginnings.

We couldn’t agree more with Dr. Hoffman’s vision. Today, we’re proud to help Amanecer continue their legacy of making mental health resources more accessible.

This nonprofit organization is already well-known for their quality and life-changing services in their community. With our support, they will be able to focus on what they do best: help people in the community access the mental health resources they need.

Together, we’ll help Amanecer grow their impact and continue to help:

a child overcome the trauma of losing her mother

a teen girl cope with a phobia of getting sick so she could start living her life

a young man struggling with depression find joy again, despite his family shunning him for being gay

We’re looking forward to un nuevo Amanecer alongside our brothers and sisters in California!

As we prepare for this exciting new chapter, feel free to explore Amanecer’s website and learn more about their important work in the community.

Saludos,

Alicia Nuñez
President & CEO
