Padres Unidos has now joined forces with parents in Commerce City, Colorado, taking up the fight for the freedom to learn in the Adams 14 school district. The members of the new Commerce City chapter have started on the task of recruiting a strong parent membership and leadership base which will allow the chapter to grown and begin bringing badly needed reform to the district.

Voices of the Leaders

"The most imortant part of being a member of the Padres Unidos group is being able to inform myself in order to relay that information to the rest of the community and to be able to learn to communicate with the [school] district administration, people of other organizations and, most importantly, with our community."

Maria I Avila
Commerce City Parent Leader

"For me, being part of the Padres Unidos group is important because it helps us strengthen ourselves as parents and as people. It teaches us to work and to learn to be greater leaders in our community and allows our children to understand the idea of leadership from childhood. I believe that it is important to teach by example and thereby teach our children to be leaders from a young age."
