Our cultural presentations, workshops, and cultural diversity training to families, youth, children, schools, Art Centers and community organizations are:

“La Cultura Cura” the Culture Cures – An Art and cultural education program teaches how to better understand our cultural identity and values to increase self esteem, cultural pride, and strengthen the family. We use Latin American Art, history, music, dance, foods, customs & traditions to engage participants. Our Youth Leadership Workshops curriculum is combined with this program to promote education and staying in school.

- “Bringing Parents and School Together” - An education program to teach parents about the education system and the importance of being involved in their children's education

- “Caribbean Roots” - Art cultural activities that connect children with the African cultures of the Caribbean people; the history of our “Hispanidad”, dance, music, and foods.
