PUENTE’s 2022 Impact Video
PUENTE Learning Center began over 35 years ago in Boyle Heights. They realized that the children struggling the most in school came from low-income homes in which parents had not had the opportunity to get an education or learn English.
As a way to empower parents as their child’s first teacher, PUENTE offered English classes for adults as well as tutoring for elementary school children, which served as the foundation for PUENTE’s multi-generational approach to education.
Today PUENTE serves over 2,000 students and families through four key program areas: Children, Youth, Adults, and Community.
Watch PUENTE’s 2022 Impact Video to see their comprehensive education model in action.
