Relationships: Great partnerships are built by pursuing healthy, personal relationships.
Mutuality: Great partnerships are based on mutual service, respect, humility, and common interest.
Communication: Great partnerships incorporate clear and consistent communication.
Depth: Great partnerships seek multiple points of engagement to maximize synergies.
Unleashed: Great partnerships foster bottom-up collaboration where permission is assumed.

On-site: Donation drives to support Adelante Thrift and specific donation drives of books and backpacks to support the kids in our programs and community, provide an opportunity for volunteers to be involved from their home, office, organization, or church.
Toe-in-the-water: Adelante Thrift provides opportunities for groups or individuals to gain exposure to the mission field in their own backyard through serving on an occasional basis. In the same way groups and individuals that serve at Mission Adelante by sorting books for a book drive, providing cleaning and maintenance for our building, or hosting a summer VBS-style camp for our kids' programs also have an opportunity to serve in our community on a short term basis.
Ongoing Relational: We provide relational ministry opportunities working with Bhutanese or Latino kids, youth, or adults that require a weekly commitment over a minimum of 12 weeks.
