Celebrating Culture and Community

Puerto Ricans United, Inc. (PRU Inc.) is a vibrant, all-volunteer non-profit organization dedicated to celebrating, preserving, and promoting Puerto Rican culture, while actively engaging in community service throughout the Greater New Haven area. Our mission is to build bridges that foster unity and pride, empowering our community to enhance its cultural identity.

PRU Inc. was created to answer a growing demand from Puerto Ricans living in the New Haven area to relaunch a Puerto Rican Festival in the city. After a roughly ten-year absence of beloved summer traditions like Areyto Inc., the Puerto Rican Day Parade, and the Loiza Festival, PRU’s co-founder, Joe Rodriguez, convened a group of New Haven leaders in 2015 to help create and launch the organization.

 

Since our inception, PRU Inc. has embarked on an inspiring journey marked by resilience and commitment. What started with a small group of passionate individuals has grown into a vital cultural hub. For a decade, we’ve worked tirelessly to connect our community by sponsoring, hosting, and partnering to produce many local cultural events. From our regional festival, food and toy drives, and Parrandas and Holiday celebrations, to an annual Three Kings Day Event, an Award Gala, and so much more, PRU continues to grow.

We believe in celebrating our roots while cultivating a thriving future together. As we celebrate 10 years of impactful programming, we remain deeply invested in the future of our community.
