Leaders for Peace and Justice.
In over three decades, El Puente has accomplished numerous headline initiatives while pioneering a national model for youth development within the context of overall community development. Grounded in a holistic approach to leadership development for young people and their families, El Puente bridges the worlds of health, education, and the arts with activism and community empowerment. El Puente’s central focus, “see, judge and act”, adopted from the Young Christian Worker movement as well as the legacy of the Young Lords Party has galvanized a human rights movement that has inspired members and their families to lead community campaigns and initiatives.
