Founded in 1981 at Chabot College, the Puente Project was originally created to increase the number of Mexican-American/Latino students transferring to four-year colleges and universities. Since then, Puente has expanded to colleges and high schools throughout the state. It is now open to all students who want to succeed academically, gain recognition as leaders, and graduate from four-year universities.
Puente is a year-long program that includes intensive writing instruction, one-on-one work with a counselor to develop an educational plan, work with community-based mentors, and cultural activities.
