PBS Bill Moyers Journal "The Promotores Program"

A core element in the Latino Health Access's successful programs are the 'promotores,' — Spanish for "to promote." The promotores are outreach workers drawn from the community they serve. They do home visits and preside over Latino Health Access' free classes and meetings. Over the years the ranks of the promotores has grown to include a number of young people reaching out to the community's teens and young adults in an effort to combat dropout rates, addiction and crime. JOURNAL producers followed promotora Araceli Robles on a visit where she shares crucial information about child development from the Mother to Mother Program.
