About Us
The Fuerza Foundation was founded by three proud Latino professionals with a shared vision: to uplift and empower the next generation of male leaders through education, mentorship, and community.
We understand the unique challenges faced by minority youth—barriers rooted in inequality and underrepresentation. That’s why we’re committed to closing opportunity gaps by providing access to resources, guidance, and lifelong support networks that create change.
Our work is grounded in lived experience, cultural pride, and an unwavering belief that every young man deserves the chance to thrive.
