PUENTES NEW ORLEANS

BRIDGING ECONOMIC, RACIAL, AND CULTURAL DIVIDES

 

Why build walls when you can build bridges instead?

​

Puentes is a Spanish word meaning “bridges.” Since 2007, Puentes has been building bridges

connecting Latin American immigrants and their children to the greater New Orleans

community. Our work is dedicated to overcoming economic, racial, and

cultural divides and to providing Latin American families and

communities with the resources, knowledge,

and hands-on opportunities they

need to thrive.
