Arts and Culture Education and Leadership Development
“VROCC offers culturally responsive programming with a focus on 21st Century social-emotional and cognitive skills”
During the weekly after-school, and summer arts culturally responsive enrichment program children and youth–primarily Latino/a/x immigrants–learn and teach culturally affirming arts and cultures practices helping to empower the cultural identities of the communities we serve.
Our programs use a racial justice lens to uplift and celebrate our students’ rich and multifaceted cultural identities so that they can “express their fullest, most authentic selves” in a truly supportive environment.
