In the heart of bustling Snohomish County, Washington, amid a backdrop of diverse cultures and landscapes, there stood a glaring truth. Miriam and José Vargas, two BIPOC, immigrants and visionary community leaders, discovered in 2014 that a staggering 40% of Hispanic residents had not completed high school. But beneath this alarming statistic lay dormant dreams, untapped potential, and hidden talents awaiting their moment to shine.

But the essence of MADRES was not solely rooted in education. It was anchored in the profound belief that migration to a new land wasn't just a quest for better job prospects—it was a pursuit of the American Dream, an emblem of hope, second chances, and untapped opportunities. This philosophy resonated through the very walls of MADRES, with every corner echoing tales of aspirations, triumphs, and dreams realized.

Today, MADRES stands tall in its commitment, a testament to its BIPOC values, and a proud, woman-led force. It serves as a reminder that the American Dream is not just an elusive pursuit but a tangible right. Through education, empowerment, and unwavering support, MADRES is on a relentless mission: to ensure that dream is within reach for everyone who dares to chase it.

At MADRES, we believe in the power of community. Every contribution we receive is a testament to the trust you place in us. We understand the immense responsibility that comes with this trust. That's why every dollar, every resource, is channeled towards creating meaningful, lasting impact in the lives of the families we serve. Our commitment is to ensure that our programs are not just implemented but executed with utmost efficiency and effectiveness.
