The Cultural Center of Puerto Rico is a non for profit organization located at 821 North Main Street, Kissimmee, Florida. Accredited by the Cultural Institute of Puerto Rico.
Our primary motivation is to promote the cultural values and traditions that we have learned to love while living on the Island of Puerto Rico. Our concern is that our children and their children will not appreciate the richness of our heritage. Since there is nothing established here that provides education about our culture and history, most of what we remember will be lost in two generations.
It is still our intention to promote and foster social, civic and patriotic participation organized by local, state and national institutions. Not only did Puerto Ricans join the Cultural Center as members but so did many representatives of other Hispanic nations, as well as several non-Hispanics that love our culture.
Due to the different needs in our community, the Cultural Center has become the information and reference center for those needing assistance or orientation, evolving into a community based organization referring individuals/families to agencies that can assist them. We have developed partnerships with agencies such as The Heart Gallery that pictures children in need of adoption and Kissimmee Family Mission helping to feed the homeless and providing a lending hand to the forgotten members of our Community.
We have celebrated our first year of evolution and success, establishing classes in music, art, dance and theatre, as well as committees dedicated to the community. Our committees are as follows: the parade, business expo and festival committee, social services, businesses, international relations, tourism, civic, education, history and traditions, arts, music, sports, children, youth, senior citizens, health, publications, media and radio show.
This organization has given each and every one of our members the joy and opportunity to “pay it forward”. We are extending an invitation to you to become a member of our Cultural Center so that together we can continue building a stronger community, your community, OUR community.
Sincerely,
Roberto Martinez, President
