Emma Torres, Founder and Executive Director of Campesinos Sin Fronteras (CSF), is a nationally recognized advocate for farmworkers and their families in the U.S.-Mexico border communities of Yuma County, Arizona. Ms. Torres, a former farmworker, has dedicated her life to addressing health disparities for the farmworking community to reduce the daily socioeconomic, educational, and linguistic barriers they face. Ms. Torres pioneered the community health worker/Promotora model in 1986 with the Comienzo Sano/Health Start Perinatal Program in Yuma County. Since then, she has been a strong proponent of the model as one of the most effective strategies for reaching and serving low-income families, Hispanic/Latinos, and migrant farmworker families. Under her leadership, CSF has served more than 12,000 people from the Yuma community annually and has become a model program for farmworkers nationwide.
