Organizational growth and change

• VROCC was incorporated as a 501c3 non-profit in 2016 and formed a Board of Directors in 2017.The Board is working with Veronica to grow the capacity of fiscal and administrative systems beyond what Veronica was able to manage.
• VROCC is a volunteer based organization, and Veronica Robles has led by example, serving as volunteer in the capacity of Creative Director, Lead Artist, Educator, Event Planner, community outreach and marketing since co-founding the organization in 2013.
• This is a year of major growth for the organization, and we seek to move away from a volunteer model to one where people are more compensated for their work and can make a longer commitment to the organization.

• We have a performing dance group that currently represent 12 different countries of Latin America, each with authentic dance choreography and costumes.
• Our members include families from Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Peru, Brazil, Honduras, Canada among others.
• Every year VROCC receives over 2000 multicultural Latino families and college students, who come to celebrate and introduce their culture to their children and friends.
• Through community performances, the VROCC dance group reaches over 5000 people from all ethnic backgrounds
