This article explores the promise of infusing the community health worker—Promotores—model within social work. In support of community health and social justice, we encourage a return to the historical legacy of this model and our profession by emphasizing not only access and quality of health and social services, but also indigenous leadership development and community advocacy to engender multisystemic change. In so doing, we highlight a richly successful Promotores organization—PASOs—serving Latino communities throughout South Carolina and conclude by discussing the possibilities of this model as we strive to (re)imagine culturally responsive approaches to social work research and practice
