MIssion, Vision, Philosophy

Agency Mission:Our mission is to promote healthy lifestyles, emotional wellness and stability through advocacy, violence prevention and community education to strengthen low-income families.

Agency Vision:Our vision is to become a model for other agencies in providing a full scope of effective; science based services that are client centered in rural and agricultural communities.

Agency Philosophy:We believe that people hold the answers to many of their problems. We know that many times when life has dealth too many blows, people begin to feel that they live in hopeloess situations and oftentimes "give-up".

  • At MUJER, we understand. Many of us share similar backgrounds with those we serve. We welcome the opportunity to listen, to observe and to assist people find their own strengths.
  • At MUJER, we do not judge, we do not tell, nor do we force people to do what "we" think they should do. Instead, we help them find what "works" for them.
  • At MUJER, people are treated with common courtesy, respect and dignity, regardless of the color of their skin or the nature of their need.
  • At MUJER, we promote families "staying together", but only when the family as a whole is working in a healthy way towards that end. Our first priority is the safey of women and children.
  • At MUJER, we believe that societal problems cannot be addressed by a single entity, rather by the community as a whole. Thus, MUJER promotes partnerships with other service providers.
  • At MUJER, we strive to provide quality and culturally sensitive service to our community.
