The Puerto Rican Cultural Center is a community-based, grassroots, educational, health and cultural services organization founded on the principles of self-determination, self-actualization and self-sufficiency that is activist-oriented.

Our programs include an HIV and STD education and prevention program, a bilingual-bicultural daycare, an award-winning alternative high school, a young women’s literacy program, a community library and information center, an obesity prevention program as well as sponsoring three major annual events – a community parade, the Midwest’s largest Latino musical festival, a haunted community strip, and a winter festival.

Born in the period following the 1966 Division Street riots, the PRCC addresses fundamental needs in the Puerto Rican/Latino communities of Humboldt Park, Logan Square and Hermosa Park.

Presently, we partner with over 75 community, university, local businesses, corporate, municipal, state and federal entities to raise awareness of obstacles in the way of the community’s stability and well-being.

Over the course of our existence, our programs and affiliates have graduated thousands of community residents, trained dozens of adolescent peers, helped bridge the digital divide in a culturally relevant manner, and imbued hundreds of potential young community leaders with an incipient, holistic vision of community wellness and stability.

Incorporated in 1998, ALSO was created to coordinate services for youth and families in the Logan Square community on Chicago’s Northwest Side. Becoming aware of the devastating impact of community violence on those families ALSO began to take action by implementing prevention programs to end street violence.

However, violence is pervasive and spans beyond the streets. In 2007, ALSO expanded its violence prevention and intervention efforts to include intimate partner violence. By working to end violence more broadly, ALSO began to see connections between violence on the streets and violence in the home.

Today, ALSO works both locally and nationally to end violence. By expanding its reach, ALSO informs its national work from a local perspective and brings knowledge and best practices from around the country to our neighborhoods in Chicago.

Café Teatro Batey Urbano is a cultural space/youth center for action and reflection for Puerto Rican/Latino youth. It seeks to create meaningful linkages between universities and the community based on grassroots activism. Premised on the notion that our memories (our history) is the source of our imagination, Batey Urbano is a space for critical expression through spoken word, poetry, dancing, music, painting, and writing. This is achieved by fusing cultural expression and technology as means of organizing in creative ways, our work builds on the human and social capital of our community to develop youth leadership in our many programs and projects. We seek to allow for holistic multi-dimensional programming that includes multi-media technology, asset assessment and community involvement.
