We are PUENTE: People United to Enrich the Neighborhood Through Education. Building bridges to learning and opportunity in Boyle Heights and beyond.
PUENTE Learning Center is proud to be an Official Charity Partner of the LA 5K for the sixth year in a row! The LA 5K will take place on Saturday, March 6, 2027, at Dodger Stadium as part of the exciting LA Marathon weekend.
Join our team today to run or walk in support of high-quality education for children, youth, adults and families in Boyle Heights and beyond. Your steps on race day will go further than the finish line—they’ll help open doors to brighter futures.
Together, we can make this year’s race our most impactful yet and continue serving over 2,000 people each year as they work to improve their lives. From six years of elementary education for children, to ten years of college and career readiness for youth, to a single semester of ESL for adults, every program we offer changes lives.
Your participation and donations make it possible for our community to access essential resources such as health screenings, financial literacy workshops, and more. Whether you run, walk, or give, you are helping create opportunities that last a lifetime.
