Nurturing Leadership, Building Justice, and Thriving Together

What is leadership? What conditions allow it to grow? And how do we channel it toward justice, peace, and the well-being of our communities?

In times like these—when political challenges weigh heavily on Latine and other communities of color—it’s more important than ever to have spaces where we can be ourselves, find joy, and organize for change. El Puente is that space. Every day, we cultivate leadership in young people across the Southside, Bushwick, North Brooklyn, and Puerto Rico, equipping them to imagine and advocate for their own futures.

As we move through 2025, we invite you to be part of this work. Your donation fuels transformative programming for youth, sustains our fight for social and environmental justice, and strengthens the spaces where our communities can breathe, create, and build power.

Donate today—select an amount that is meaningful to you—and invest in a future rooted in resilience, self-determination, and collective thriving.

Together, we grow.
