Ingrid Bustos

Founder & Executive Director

Our Leadership Team

Bustos migrated to the U.S. with her family as a teenager in 2001 from El Salvador. After she finished earning her certification in teaching ministry, she was ordained as a Minister in 2018. Her passion is to serve people and to help Youth find their path. She discovered her passion while serving as a youth pastor for 8 years and throughout that experience she found her calling to serve her community and its youth.

Navigating through a new place of living, she believes that the struggle and difficulty always comes from God in the form of a test. In 2018 she founded ECCO Community Center, a place where students and parents from any background can have access to necessary resources to be able to attend college or a university.

Under her leadership ECCO has been a part of several programs with different organizations in the Greater New Orleans Area.
