Circles grounded in the wisdom of our elders and rooted in community have long been the foundation of Hombro a Hombro.

 

 

Originating through community elders and the Compadres Network, Nuestra Causa has grown into a trusted space for transformation, healing, and empowerment. Through vital collaborations with the Bay View Boys and Girls Club, the Mentoring Men's Movement, and the Phoenix Entrepreneurial Development Group, we have expanded our reach and deepened our impact.

 

Our Support Circles serve men, women, transitional-age youth, and monolingual Spanish speakers — many of whom are system-impacted, gang-impacted, or navigating re-entry. We meet people where they are, and our work reflects that commitment. Many of our participants are left out of traditional services. That gap is exactly why we exist.

 

Our strength lies in culturally rooted, trauma-informed group therapy, healing circles, and peer-to-peer learning. These take place in both men's and co-ed spaces — inside jails and in the community — where trust, accountability, and personal growth can take root.

 

While rooted in San Francisco, Nuestra Causa's Support Circles extend across the Central Valley, the South Bay, and the Sacramento region — building a connected network of healing and transformation across Northern California.
