You can help brighten a student’s future

Emily had big dreams of becoming a doctor—but as a first-generation college student, she didn’t know how to navigate the path to college. That changed when she found PUENTE.

Through our College & Career Program, Emily received one-on-one guidance, application support, and college readiness resources that helped her pursue her future with confidence. Today, Emily is heading to Chapman University with scholarships covering nearly all her tuition. “PUENTE’s support has been a huge turning point for me,” she shared.

But many students in Boyle Heights and surrounding communities still face barriers to achievement. Your gift can help change that.

In addition to PUENTE’s College & Career Program, support from caring people like you can provide:

• Culturally responsive teaching for preschool and elementary school students
• Career-ready skills for adult learners through ESL and high school diploma support
• Access to food distributions, health services, and mental health resources

Every student deserves the opportunity to realize their potential.

Thank you for helping students like Emily build brighter futures.
