After two years of remarkable leadership and service, we’re bidding a heartfelt farewell to our VP of Impact, Nancy Villafranca.

Nancy led at PODER during an incredibly difficult time, when our communities were facing fear and uncertainty tied to enforcement and anti-immigrant policies. She met every moment with calm, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to PODER’s mission.

Her impact is lasting: stronger systems, sharper accountability structures, and a culture rooted in care, collaboration, and resilience. Most importantly, she never lost sight of the people at the center of this work; our team, our partners, and the immigrant families we serve.

Nancy steps into her next chapter as Executive Director of an organization dedicated to elevating the stories of Chicago’s immigrant communities. It’s a role that reflects everything she stands for.

Nancy, on behalf of everyone at PODER, thank you. We’re proud of what we built together and excited for the impact you’ll continue to make.

Thank you to Literacy Foundation for our 2026 adult literacy grant! Funding received will support our Adult Education and Literacy programs, helping adult learners strengthen their English language, literacy, and workforce readiness skills.

We are deeply grateful to the Dollar General Literacy Foundation for their belief in PODER, our mission, and the power of investing in Chicago communities.

This support is more than a grant, it is an investment in opportunity, education, and the future of the young people and families we serve every day. Through partnerships like this, we are able to expand access to literacy, workforce development, and community-centered programming that creates lasting impact.

Public-private partnerships are essential to building stronger, more equitable communities. When organizations, foundations, and community leaders come together with a shared vision, real change becomes possible.

We are honored to stand alongside partners who believe in the potential of Chicago’s neighborhoods and the people who call them home.
