Our Story

In the beginning…

Raíces Emma - Erwin began as Nuestro Centro which first opened its doors to the community in 2007. It went through many cycles and changes as our community faced new realities. In 2020, we changed our name to reflect our deeper focus on Raíces cultural work with children and youth. We were proud to serve the community as Nuestro Centro and, with emotion and pride, we continue to work with our beloved community. 


Our Mission

Strengthening the cultural identity of our children and having a positive influence in their lives through the dance, art and culture of Latin America.

Our Vision

Creating a united and integrated community where there is respect and security.
