 Values & Accomplishments

enFAMILIA, Inc. is a 501 c3 agency that was incorporated in September of 2000 to provide educational programs to help improve and preserve family life for a large population of migrant farm workers and low-income families living in Deep South and other areas of Miami-Dade County. The community in Deep South Dade is characterized by factors such as poverty, low education, discrimination, cultural prejudices and immigration laws, all of which have contributed to social problems. In addition, teen pregnancy and lack of teen parenting are, unfortunately, common in this community.
Carlos E. Salgado and Rocio Tafur-Salgado founders and directors of enFAMILIA, Inc. hold Master-level degrees and have extensive experience working with migrant and low-income families. They spent several summers providing missionary work in “las rancherias” of Tabasco, Mexico. They combined their field experiences and formal education to create the enFAMILIA Center to provide programs that address the unique needs of families in South Dade. enFAMILIA is well known among the families they served, and have earned trust and respect through their widespread service to the community for over seven years.
enFAMILIA’s current major programs and activities include: 
• Effective Parenting Skills Training: Seminars on responsible, effective parenting.
• Nurturing Parenting Programs for the Court System
• Educational Support Programs for Parents and Children at school: Programs to help parents prepare their children to succeed in school.
• Art Education: Middle and high school students will be able to participate in a Summer Art-In- Action camp and Out Of School program with emphasis in the arts.
• Family Education Curriculum Development:  Development of curriculums to strengthen families.
• Marriage Preparation and Enrichment: Programs and workshops to strengthen and enhance couples’ relationships.
• Domestic violence and child abuse prevention: Workshops aim to develop skill for self control and to prevent domestic violence and child abuse.
