Puerto Rican Family Institute (PRFI) operates on a "people first" principle, providing person-centered care focused on individual strengths, not diagnoses. The institute is deeply committed to eliminating racism and discrimination, working to empower and remove barriers for African Americans, Latinos, and all minorities in New York and Puerto Rico.

PRFI’s mission is to enhance the self-sufficiency of diverse marginalized communities and prevent family disintegration. Our work is accessible to all, ensuring no one is denied services based on race, language, or ability to pay.

Led by a dynamic, results-oriented executive with expertise in child welfare, early education, and refugee programs, PRFI leverages a team approach to drive organizational improvements. This focus on operational excellence ensures tailored support and positive outcomes for every individual and family served.
