About AVANCE and our impact
Established in 1973, AVANCE (Uh-vahn-say) is a national, non-profit organization, primarily serving Texas, that meets hard to reach, low-income families where they are. Meaning "advance" or “progress,” AVANCE serves as a trusted guide to assist under-resourced families of young children in overcoming isolation and lack of opportunity. AVANCE's chapter in Austin, Texas was established in 1997.

AVANCE’s Two Generation approach consists of Parenting, Child-focused and Parent-focused programs.
Each of these areas is covered by our core Parent-Child Education Program (PCEP) and over 15 other complementary programs.
