Regional players

• Latino Community Association: Central Oregon-based CBO serving Latino families through interpretation, education, and family support services. Operates a parallel model to Mano a Mano in a different Oregon region.
• Visión y Compromiso: California-based statewide network that trains and supports Promotores/Community Health Workers in Latino communities; relevant peer for Mano a Mano's THW and Promotores model from a capacity-building and best-practice standpoint.

Direct peers

• Centro Cultural de Washington County: Latino community center offering youth programs, parent education, food assistance, and cultural programming in Washington County, Oregon. Highly comparable program mix to Mano a Mano.
• PCUN (Pineros y Campesinos Unidos del Noroeste): Oregon farmworkers' union and Latino-led social services organization serving farmworker families with similar demographic and historical roots in the Willamette Valley.
• Farmworker Housing Development Corporation (FHDC): Farmworker and Latino family services and housing provider; has colocated with Mano a Mano at Colonia Libertad since 2005 and is a co-partner in the new Plaza Esperanza community center. Directly comparable community-based mission and farmworker constituency.
• CAPACES Leadership Institute: Sister organization within the Alianza Poder network and backbone for the alliance; collaborates with Mano a Mano on increasing bilingual/bicultural Latino Community Health Workers in the Mid-Willamette Valley. Same Latino-led community development mission in Oregon.
• Immigrant & Refugee Community Organization (IRCO): Portland-based community-based organization providing social services, refugee resettlement, and youth programs for immigrant and refugee communities in Oregon. Closest functional peer for Mano a Mano's Family Wellness, YEP, and Casa Infantil-type programs at a larger scale.
• Causa Oregon: Immigrant rights advocacy organization originally established under Mano a Mano in the mid-1990s. Continues to share leadership and the same Latino/immigrant constituency in Oregon.

Broad incumbents

• Catholic Community Services of the Mid-Willamette Valley: Larger regional social services nonprofit in Salem-Keizer; alongside Mano a Mano, was among the first Salem-Keizer nonprofits to employ a certified Community Health Worker (2015). Overlapping food, family, and refugee services but with a broader funding base.
• United Way of the Mid-Willamette Valley: Regional funder and convener for health, education, and financial stability programs in the same Marion/Polk county footprint; relevant peer from a community-investment and partnership standpoint rather than direct program delivery.
