Created with Admarket’s flickrSLiDR.

The Juan Antonio Corretjer Puerto Rican Cultural Center is a nucleus of Paseo Boricua and its organizations. Inspired by our motto, “to live and help to live,” we seek to collectively confront social problems in the Humboldt Park community. Numerous PRCC programs work provide social services of the highest quality while living in solidarity with stakeholders, constituents, and residents. We receive funding from various governmental and private sources, yet up to half of our costs are paid with financial contributions from individuals like you. Funds are used for a variety of purposes, from printing our community’s newspaper (La Voz del Paseo Boricua) to teaching at-risk youth journalism, photography and multimedia skills. Programs such as the Consuelo Lee Corretjer bilingual daycare center allows young mothers to work and study while their children receive a culturally appropriate and high-quality education, and would not be possible without the donations we receive. No donation is too small. Please click on the PayPal link below to make your contribution. Unless specified, your contribution will go towards our Capital Campaign Fund to help finish the renovation of our building at 2700 W. Haddon. For more information on the Capital Campaign, please contact Alejandro Molina at alejandrom@prcc-chgo.org. Inquiries about donations can made using the Contact Form.

Thank you for your contribution!

About

Founded in 1973, the Puerto Rican Cultural Center Juan Antonio Corretjer is a non-profit, community-based umbrella institution, which seeks to serve the social/cultural needs of Chicago’s Puerto Rican/Latino community. It is built on the following principles: a philosophy of self-determination, a methodology of self-actualization and critical thought, and an ethics of self-reliance best expressed in the motto, “To live and help to live.” The Puerto Rican Cultural Center (PRCC) is named after Juan Antonio Corretjer, the celebrated Puerto Rican national poet and political leader. It serves as a place where people come together to address the critical problems confronting the community and to recover their history, to share in the music, poetry and drama of Puerto Ricans both at home and in the diaspora. All of the PRCC’s programs encourage participants to think critically about their reality and to promote an ethics of self-reliance based on social responsibility. They deal with health, social, and cultural issues that affect Puerto Rican/Latino and poor communities, such as AIDS, education, literacy, housing, homophobia, drug addiction, gang violence, teen pregnancy, police brutality, racism, economic and community development and human rights violations.
