Tia Chucha’s Centro Cultural’s (TCCC) mission is to transform community through ancestral knowledge, the arts, literacy and creative engagement. TCCC provides a positive space for people to activate their natural capacity to create, imagine and express themselves in an effort to improve the quality of life for their community.
Embracing the philosophy that every youth is a warrior of their own struggles, the Youth Warrior program helps develop youth leadership and communication skills through the power of the arts and proper mentoring.
