Seis Puentes Hispanic Outreach Breaks Ground on New North Little Rock Headquarters
Seis Puentes Hispanic Outreach
Seis Puentes Hispanic Outreach, a North Little Rock nonprofit, is celebrating their new headquarters to make services more accessible to the city's Spanish-speaking population.
The root of their mission: Executive Director Raul Fernández was inspired to serve the community by his parents, who came to North Little Rock from Puerto Rico in the late 1970s.
Community service: Their services include English lessons, help with tasks like paying utility bills and registering children for school, and a municipal identification program in partnership with the city. The expansion is set to cost around $300,000, partially offset by grants from the city.
