What is Puente Project? Learn more before you join.

Puente Project at Modesto Junior College (MJC) is an academic, counseling, and mentoring program to support students in building the skills necessary for success in both academic and career goals while in community college. Students enrolled in the Puente Project work closely with their counselor, English instructor, and mentor to prepare for transfer to four-year colleges and universities.

Puente is a bridge for students between MJC and four-year universities by creating a sense of familia (Spanish for family).  In creating an MJC familia, the Puente Project wishes to build a nurturing learning environment that fosters not only academic growth and success but also personal achievement and community connection. 

Puente focuses on reading and writing assignments related to Latinx issues and authors.
