About Juventud Ecuatoriana

OUR MISSION:
JUVE empowers Ecuadorians to shape their communities, celebrate their heritage, and connect with like- minded individuals globally to drive positive change.
OUR VISION:
JUVE envisions a world that celebrates and values Ecuadorians as influential leaders and contributors, showcasing their rich cultural heritage on a global stage.
Our History:
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.
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.
