Big news! Today, Edgewater Collective officially becomes Esperanza Collective.

As the focus of our organization has expanded beyond Edgewater, we wanted a name that deeply reflects the vibrant community we work alongside and the hope (esperanza) that drives our mission every day.

While our name is evolving, our focus remains identical: improving education, economic opportunity, and civic engagement with Latino communities across Jefferson County. Thank you for being a vital part of our journey. Together, we keep building hope!

¡Grandes noticias! Hoy, Edgewater Collective se convierte oficialmente en Esperanza Collective.

Dado que el enfoque de nuestra organización se ha expandido más allá de Edgewater, buscábamos un nombre que reflejara profundamente la vibrante comunidad con la que trabajamos y la esperanza que impulsa nuestra misión cada día.

Si bien nuestro nombre está evolucionando, nuestro enfoque sigue siendo el mismo: mejorar la educación, las oportunidades económicas y la participación cívica de las comunidades latinas en todo el condado de Jefferson. Gracias por ser parte fundamental de nuestro camino. ¡Juntos, seguimos construyendo esperanza!
