The Puente Project was originally founded in 1981 by the Co-Directors, Felix Galaviz and Patricia McGrath, at Chabot College in Hayward, California. The program mission was to increase the number of Mexican American and Latino community college students who transfer to four-year colleges and universities. As an outgrowth of its success as a community college program, Puente was awarded funding in 1993 to replicate the program in 18 California high schools.
Today, the mission of the Puente Project is to increase the number of educationally underserved students who enroll in four-year colleges and universities. Puente's objective is to assist these individuals to earn degrees and to return to the community as leaders and mentors to succeeding generations.
Puente is open to all students.
