Where Resilience Meets Opportunity

Our story is one of perserverance and purpose. A reflextion of the challenges, hopes, and triumphs found across our community. Puede Network was founded on the belief that education can be a form of freedom, and that when we create spaces for youth to grow, they don’t just change their own lives, the change their neighborhoods, their families, and their futures.

Meet our Founder: Adan Gonzalez

Adan Gonzalez founded Puede Network with one simple yet transformative idea, that education can grant freedom and responsibility in equal measure. Growing up in Oak Cliff, a Dallas neighborhood where challenges are ever present, Adan learned early what perseverance, community and opportunity truly meant.

Built on Purpose. Driven by Community.

From humble beginnings to a growing network of youth, families, and mentors, our history is rooted in collective effort and shared values.

Every lesson learned, every program built, and every child empowered has helped shape what we now call the C.L.A.V.E. Framework, a model that guides how we nurture leadership, service and opportunity.
