Power Education

Empowering Ecuadorians in USA through education and a supportive community.

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

JUVE undertakes various projects and initiatives to celebrate its richness. Recognizing the importance of higher education, JUVE created the Ecuadorian Scholars Fund to support Ecuadorians in pursuit of a college degree. JUVE’s early initiatives, like the Immigration Awareness forum and GED classes, underscored its dedication to addressing the immediate needs of the community.

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.
