Professional Development Activities & Initiatives

Since our Foundation in 2006, JUVE has created several projects and programs that aimed to empower our community through information and education. Some of our past projects include seminars on Immigration, Technology, Leadership, Financial Management, Human Rights, Civil Rights, Project Management, GED Programs and more. Our most popular seminar by far is “Doors to Higher Education,” due to the increasing interest of the Hispanic community in accessing a college education.

In previous years, JUVE has also contributed to projects that directly influence the participation of Ecuadorians in art, social and cultural matters. Clear examples are the Ecuadorian Renaissance, a project created to present different forms of plastic Arts created by Ecuadorians under the topic of immigration. Other projects that promote the culture and heritage pride are the Carnaval, Carnavalito event, and participation in Ecuadorian Parades every year.

Another great accomplishment of past JUVE initiatives was a series of “register to vote” campaigns for the Ecuadorian community in NY. This campaign reached over 1000 people and successfully encouraged our community to exercise their right to vote.

“JUVE EXPO” is an annual event where JUVE presents to the community our calendar and activities for the year. This is a space where we welcome new members and volunteers of our organization. At JUVE expo our community is invited to participate in each of our initiatives.

This seminar has the purpose of covering all the key information for individuals to access the educational system, including the application process, financial aid and more.
