We Awaken and Accompany Leaders, especially Hispanics, in Areas of Great Need Corazon Puro is an outreach to youth and young adults, founded in the South Bronx, that radically changes the trajectory of young people’s lives. The world is thirsting for authentic love. Young people can become so desperate for this love that they settle for counterfeits.

The future of our society depends on these dynamic youth coming to the banquet table.
