Testimonials

"Raices Cultura has given to me what other youth organizations couldn't - a second place to call home & a community family and a drive to go beyond my expectations as an artist and seek higher education. I was only 17 when I first joined and it was one of the best decisions I made. Day in and day out, there was always something new to discover and feel whenever I stopped by. Even now, as I stay involved in the organization as a young adult, ideas and characteristics are still being brought out in me that help me grow as an artist. From its mentors, to its leaders of the organization, I never feel as though I can't speak what I feel, on the contrary I always want to speak how I feel knowing I will be listened to. I've learned the way of social skills, group building, leadership skills, art improvements, and the list goes on. Raices Cultura has nurtured me in making me become the person I am today and I am beyond grateful to the organization and thankful to those around me."
