We form leaders within the Hispanic community through our Promotores Training Program. Participants are trained to bring educational programs into the community and are called Promotores. In the process, they develop leadership skills that translate into enhanced ability for groups within the community to speak out for themselves and into the development of abilities that result in increased job marketability for individual Promotores. El Buen has housed the only Promotores program in Central Texas until this fall, and now is part of a collaboration that is incubating a new Promotores program in East Austin.

"I love talking to our participants. Their stories touch my heart." Rosalba Maldonado, Promotores Coordinator Learn more about Rosalba.

One important issue facing the Hispanic community is health care. We train promotores y promotoras to educate the Hispanic community on health related issues. Through an extensive 8-week training program, the Promotores are empowered to advocate on behalf of the community in the areas of:
	Social
	Legal
	Civil Rights
	Health
	Nutrition
	Education

The aim of the program is to build a healthier and stronger community by increasing awareness and empowering families and individuals.
