With support from the California Arts Council, CAFÉ PUENTE will sustain essential operations of our Spanish-language multicultural community center, ensuring Latinx families in Sonoma County, including immigrant, Spanish-dominant, and mixed-status households, continue to access free, culturally grounded arts programming that reflects and celebrates their identities.

We offer arts and cultural programs including Latidos (dance and performing arts classes for children, youth, and adults), Puentistas (youth cultural identity and leadership programming), Raíces (creative wellness and cultural gatherings for older adults), and Puentecitos (early childhood storytelling, music, and literacy activities for families with young children). These programs center Latinx cultural traditions while creating opportunities for artistic expression, cultural pride, and community belonging.

General operating support will help cover staff time, facility costs, and program coordination so Café Puente can provide accessible arts experiences for historically under-resourced communities.
