Mentors
Puente Program Mentors
Each Puente student is paired with a mentor from the local business or professional community. Mentors share their personal stories, educational journeys, and career experiences—giving students a meaningful look into real-world professions and the many paths to success.
Through these relationships, students gain guidance, encouragement, and a trusted connection to someone who has navigated college and career life.
