Their passion is to see their community go from being marginalized to becoming healthier through mobilization of community partners to strengthen the family unity, honor the elderly, promote life-long learning, practice reconciliation that restores the community to where crime, violence, poverty, racial alienation, illiteracy, hunger and other forms of social marginalization no longer exist.
Barrio Nuevo has college interns who get credit from ASU or GCU for their partnership with our program.
