Raices De Mexico Inc

Out-of-school learning and enrichment opportunities are critical for the healthy development of all children. 

Founded in 1980 in East Palo Alto, Raices de Mexico is a non-profit, parent-run organization that aims to promote cultural diversity through dance, music, and art, as well as community engagement through workshops and performances. Students learn movement, background, history, music, and the traditions of each dance form to gain a well-rounded cultural experience.

Our students need your support to achieve their full potential. 

Workshops that focus on dance and traditions are also offered, such as Dia de los Muertos and Posadas. Instructors teach dance while encouraging children, teens, and adults to achieve individual excellence and confidence in a supportive group environment. Interpersonal relationships, team unity, cultural awareness, respect, sensitivity, and courtesy are key elements of the Raices de Mexico program.

Your generous support will have a positive and lasting impact on all the students that we serve.

Many of our students experience a combination of socioeconomic challenges that make it difficult for them to be able to participate in enriching after school programs such as ours. Our fundraising helps off-set part of their tuition costs, while further diversifying and enriching our group as a whole.

Thank you for your generosity and support in enriching the cultural education of our students and community.
