Our Mission: Unlocking America's Potential by strengthening families in at-risk communities through effective parent education and support programs. AVANCE is a national non-profit organization that has been serving the needs of low-income families since its founding in Texas in 1973. We work with families through a proven 2-generation, family engagement approach that combines early childhood development and parenting education. The cornerstone of our programs is the Parent-Child Education Program (PCEP), a national model of early intervention that focuses on the welfare of children, families and the community and that they are naturally reinforcing. AVANCE also offers programs that feature additional resources designed to fully prepare students to transition to college and to help adults prepare for the workforce. These family engagement programs are essential to the success of our children. We firmly believe that "Parents are the First Teachers, and Home is the First Classroom".
