OUR STORY

Generations on the Move is a non-profit organization founded by a first-generation Mexican-American family for the primary purpose of assisting other families in achieving the “American Dream.” While the origins of the family are deep-rooted in central Mexico, the family and their descendants have lived in this country for a century.

Although the family history is filled with challenges, sacrifices, struggles, and incredible barriers, it has become a family of firsts.

Indeed, this family has had many firsts in its history:

• The first Mexican-American Community College president in California
• The first Mexican-American to serve on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
• The first Director of the Office of Mexican-American Affairs in California and in the United States
• Numerous educators, school administrators, school district superintendents, college professors, and educational researchers
• Physical, human services, and mental health professionals
• Union organizers and community activists
• Business people and industrialists
• 10 recipients of outstanding alumnus awards at universities
