We’re excited to share that we’ve received a $2 million gift from the Yield Giving Open Call! The #YieldGivingOpenCall – managed by @Lever for Change – focused on elevating organizations working with people and in places experiencing the greatest need in the United States. El Puente does just that through inspiring youth leadership and change in the marginalized communities we serve in North Brooklyn and Puerto Rico. In the face of divestment and displacement, this gift will allow us to invest deeply in our communities and our future, to continue to strive towards justice and address the systemic disparities we’re up against in environmental justice, housing, education, and public safety.

We’re excited to share this new report by Center for an Urban Future and Brooklyn Org that showcases El Puente’s idea for achieving a stronger and more equitable Brooklyn. “Create community-based digital equity hubs to provide access and training” - Marco A. Carrion, Executive Director, El Puente Despite everything that makes Brooklyn great, systemic inequalities in Brooklyn still persist and disproportionately exclude low-income residents from accessing crucial internet and technology resources, especially impacting students during the pandemic. To bridge this digital divide, we should establish community-operated digital hubs and offer digital courses to empower residents with access, ownership, and confidence in utilizing these essential tools.
