“VROCC offers culturally responsive programming with a focus on 21st Century social-emotional and cognitive skills”
Arts and Culture Education and Leadership Development
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.

Latin Heritage Summer Program!
We have an important update for our community.
Due to budget constraints and current circumstances, we will not be offering our Latin Heritage Summer School Program this year. We know how much this program means to our families and children, and we are truly sorry.
