What began in a 500-unit public housing development in San Antonio, Texas, with an annual budget of $50,000 serving 35 families, AVANCE has grown to over 100 program sites across the U.S., serving thousands of parents and children annually through early childhood education/parenting and family support services. AVANCE is a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit, community-based organization originally conceptualized at Cornell University by graduate students of Dr. Urie Bronfenbrenner. The first AVANCE Mother-Infant Program was established in Dallas, Texas in 1972 with funding from the Zale Corporation. Zale then provided seed funding to bring the program to San Antonio, Texas and hired Gloria Rodriguez as the first Executive Director of the San Antonio branch in 1973. While the Dallas site closed its doors in 1974, AVANCE in San Antonio continued and Dr. Rodriguez became the visionary leader whom firmly established, enhanced and expanded the concept in San Antonio, developing the AVANCE Parent-Child Education Program into the effective and comprehensive program it is today. AVANCE is widely recognized as a national model and best practice in early childhood education.
