Mission:
The mission of Puentes New Orleans, Inc. is to build assets and create access for the Latino community of the Greater New Orleans area. What does this mean? It means that we aspire to create an integrated New Orleans region in which the Latino community is a vital, vibrant, and active participant that enjoys access to good jobs, quality education, safe streets, affordable housing, and economic opportunities.
We believe that with access to growth opportunities, we can create an asset base among the Latino community, both in terms of capital assets and human assets, of people moving into the middle class and out of poverty and of people developing and exercising community leadership skills. We aspire to create a strong economic base of Latino families who establish roots in the New Orleans area. To do this, we believe that it is critical that we and our partners do everything possible to make New Orleans and its surrounding areas as multicultural as possible so that Latino and other immigrant families can express and share their cultural heritage as well as learn about the cultural heritage of New Orleans area people.
