Avance Public Outreach and Communications specializes in community outreach, civic engagement, public participation programs and construction outreach efforts for large and complex public infrastructure projects. “Avance” (meaning “to advance” in Spanish), develops and implements outreach programs focused on “advancing” our clients’ goals and messages to the ever increasing diverse and multilingua
l communities of Southern California. Avance engages with a variety of stakeholders, including government agencies, elected officials, private businesses and communities to ensure an understanding of proposed projects and/or initiatives. Avance maintains our commitment to public outreach, education and engagement by applying a grassroots approach to our programs. This approach ensures messages are delivered in a simple and easy-to-understand manner and that communications take place where stakeholders are already congregating such as parks, schools, libraries, churches and other activity centers. Recognizing that working with the multilingual communities not only requires the ability to speak in their own language, but understanding their sensibilities as well, Avance seeks personal interaction to ensure quality, credible and comprehensive outreach efforts for all stakeholders.
