NISO Programs

NISO Programs is an organization that promotes the development of healthier and stronger communities by empowering individuals and meeting the needs where they are. At the core of NISO Programs is the use of the Promotores model. This model has been used by different organizations, including Vision y Compromiso . We are following their model but cu... stomizing it to meet our needs. What is the Promotores model? Promotores are community members who act as natural helpers and liaisons to meaningful information and resources for their neighbors and neighborhoods. Promotores are liaisons between their communities and social service providers. Because they share the same language, culture, ethnicity, status, and experiences of their communities, Promotores are able to reduce the common barriers to services for native-born and immigrant communities. The results are better opportunities for more individuals, families, and communities. Promotores build and maintain relationships of trust and respect within their communities, and understand the reality of how people live and the obstacles that keep them from success. Promotores work to improve conditions so that their children, and all children, will be healthy, better educated and productive citizens.Read More
