Organización Juventud Ecuatoriana (JUVE), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, was established in 2006 by young Ecuadorians residing in New York City. JUVE provides impactful seminars, workshops, and forums covering education, leadership, financial management, human and civil rights, equipping individuals with the tools to thrive.
About Juventud Ecuatoriana
Committed to preserving Ecuadorian heritage and culture
Through steadfast commitment and community support, JUVE has become a well-respected organization in the NY Tri-State area, championing education, cultural awareness, and global connections for the Ecuadorian community.
Why Scholarships Matter
For many first-generation college students in the Ecuadorian community, financial barriers make higher education challenging. JUVE’s scholarship program bridges this gap. For over a decade, JUVE has awarded scholarships to 65 students of Ecuadorian descent in the New York Tri-State area – an average of five new college scholars each year.
- These $1,000 ESF scholarships not only ease the burden of tuition but also connect recipients with a supportive network and educational workshops.
- Scholars credit the program with helping them focus on their studies and personal growth instead of worrying about finances .
- By investing in talented youth, JUVE is uplifting families and inspiring “future leaders” in the community.
- Each scholarship is a step toward greater educational attainment (only about 27% of Ecuadorian-origin adults in the U.S. hold a bachelor’s degree ), closing the achievement gap one student at a time.
- JUVE’s impact is evident in the dozens of success stories of students who, with support, have gone on to college and committed to give back to their community.
