Alicia Urbano
Director of Operations
Alicia Urbano manages the budgets, payroll, and planning that keep both centers running day to day. Alongside the rest of the founding team, she helped open both Centers. She's deeply committed to the families the Centers serve, and is known for the quiet steadiness she brings to every part of the operation. Her warmth holds the day-to-day work together.
Nallely Guzman
Parent University Coordinator
Nallely Guzman runs the Parent University program: coordinating the workshops, instructors, and logistics that help parents build the skills and confidence to support their children's education. A mother herself, she's actively involved in her own children's education, and that lived experience shapes the way she welcomes and supports every family she meets.
Maria Guadalupe Moreno
Director of Partnerships & Marketing
Maria Guadalupe Moreno brings deep roots and a way of bringing people together. A former migrant worker and mother of six, she has a firsthand understanding of the families she serves. Her community trusts her, which is why she's been able to build the wide network of partners the Center runs on, from workshop leaders and volunteers to local businesses and agencies.
Grecia Rodriguez
Community Engagement Coordinator
Grecia Rodriguez helps families connect, grow, and believe in their potential. A proud daughter of Mexican parents, she leads with heart, resilience, and creativity. She is also pursuing her own dream of becoming a teacher — showing her children, and the families she serves, that faith and determination can open any door.
