We are thrilled to celebrate Puentes New Orleans tomorrow as the recipient of the NOYA Youth Empowerment Organization Award ❤️‍🔥

The NOYA Youth Empowerment Organization Award is given each year at the NOYA Igniting Change Reception to an outstanding youth-serving organization who has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to providing high-quality programming and services to young people.

Puentes was created to address the needs of Latinos in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and since then has been working to promote social change through active civic engagement and policy and advocacy in the areas of education, criminal justice, open governance, economic asset building and leadership development.

In addition, Puentes strives to make our community more immigrant-friendly by strengthening the values of diversity and inclusion in Louisiana. Puentes exemplifies this commitment by creating safe, supportive spaces where Latine young people can be themselves, build leadership skills, strengthen connections, and thrive in our community.
