Our Beginnings

 

An organization for all … In the beginning, we offered literacy services, training in mechanics, bodywork and painting, handicrafts, sewing and construction, and drug addiction rehabilitation and alcoholism recovery (“AA-Alcóholicos Anónimos”) to participants from different communities. In 1959, we were the site for the foundation of the “Cooperativa Jesús Obrero”, which continues being an alternative of service and economic development for the community. For the past 64 consecutive years we have continued offering our services to all persons without distinction of any kind about religious beliefs, nationality, marital status, and sexual orientation. And for more than 30 years, in alliances with universities in PR, we have served as a practice center for Master and Doctoral students in psychological counseling and social work. We were recognized by the 53rd Annual Convention of the Psychological Assoc. of PR for being a community-based organization, for the work, commitment, and constant legislation in offering quality services to communities in Puerto Rico.
