Transforming Opportunities for Family, Friend and Neighbor Caregivers

Unpaid family caregivers--overwhelmingly women--are essential to the American economy. They manage multiple responsibilities across the lifecycle caring for children, aging adults, and people with disabilities or complex medical conditions, but they remain outside the workforce. Visión y Compromiso's Family Caregivers Program builds creative care infrastructures through promotora-led programs (individualized support, navigation, resource access, peer networks, self-care); workforce development that leads to employment for caregivers through training, coaching, and mentoring; and policy advocacy that transforms communities.
