MISSION: La Sociedad Cultural Dominicana is a non-profit,
cultural organization dedicated to promote, educate, and celebrate the rich
cultural heritage of the Dominican Republic. Our purpose is to unite our native
Dominican families, build fellowship, and cultural bridges in our community.
La
Sociedad Cultural Dominicana was founded in 1991. The co-founders
were Dulce Isalguez Parker, Gina Sainz, and Mireya Luna-Bottom. The
goals of the organization are to:
-
Welcome
Dominican families who are new to our community and help them stay
connected with our culture.

cultural events that promote the diversity of the Dominican culture
through folkloric dances, music, and artists from the Dominican
Republic.

Provide
educational workshops to learn more about the diversity of the Dominican
cultural heritage.

cultural presentations in area schools and community organizations.
- Provide support to a medical team (LEAP)
who provides reconstructive surgery to underpriviledge children from
the Dominican Republic.
-
Support
programs in the Dominican Republic that promote education and culture.
- Build cultural exchanges between the Dominican
Republic and the USA.
Our Association
is run by volunteers. We have members from different regions of
the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Honduras, USA, Africa,
