who we are
WHO WE ARE. WHY IT MATTERS.
The Cuban House is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting Cuban cultural heritage through educational programs, community events, and cultural initiatives that serve Cuban and underserved communities in Westchester County, New York.
We started in 2016 in Las Vegas, NV, assisting the Cuban community and progressively extending its services to other social groups and minorities.
It began by providing educational, cultural, and social services. Later, the organization relocated to Tampa, FL, where it expanded its community services and developed online outreach and fundraising efforts for people in need.
Now based in New York, we continue to serve with purpose.
COMMUNITY NEED
Westchester County is home to more than 7,700 Cuban residents; however, there is currently no centralized cultural institution serving this community.
In Yonkers—one of the county’s most diverse cities—Cuban identity remains:
Underserved
Underrepresented
Largely invisible
The Cuban House exists to change this reality. To establish the first Cuban cultural and educational center in Westchester, starting in Yonkers.
A space where:
Culture is preserved
Community is built
Identity is strengthened
QUIÉNES SOMOS. POR QUÉ IMPORTA
The Cuban House es una organización sin fines de lucro dedicada a preservar y promover el patrimonio cultural cubano a través de programas educativos, eventos comunitarios e iniciativas culturales que sirven a comunidades cubanas y desatendidas en el condado de Westchester, Nueva York.
Iniciamos nuestra labor en 2016 en Las Vegas, Nevada, brindando asistencia a la comunidad cubana y extendiendo progresivamente nuestros servicios a otros grupos sociales y minorías.
Comenzamos ofreciendo servicios educativos, culturales y sociales. Posteriormente, la organización se trasladó a Tampa, Florida, donde amplió sus servicios comunitarios y desarrolló iniciativas de difusión en línea y de recaudación de fondos para personas necesitadas.
Ahora, con sede en Nueva York, continuamos sirviendo con propósito.
