Welcome to National Compadres Network
NCN is a national effort whose focus is the reinforcement of the positive involvement of Latino males in the lives of their families, communities, and society,
Based on the principles of “Un Hombre Noble” (A Noble Man), the mission of the National Compadres Network is to strengthen, rebalance, and/or redevelop the traditional “Compadre” extended family system. It’s by this process that we encourage and support the positive involvement of Latino males as fathers, sons, grandfathers, brothers, compadres, partners, and mentors in their families and community.
At the same time,the National Compadre Network believes by increasing the positive support and influence of Latino males in their family and society it can also have an impact on reducing the incidence of substance abuse, domestic violence, child abuse, teen pregnancy, gang violence, and other family and community problems.
By way of this ongoing effort, it is our hope that children and families will have a safer, healthier, happier world in which to live and grow.
