The WHCC is raising money to open our first cultural center in Brewster, NY.
Why?
Since 2005, the World Heritage Cultural Center has helped the cultures of the world come together and celebrate their ways of life. The WHCC currently works with 570+ cultural groups, and has held 185 multicultural concerts across the United States. We offer diverse programming in the arts and food, while making a positive impact through knowledge-sharing, community, and charitable work.
The time is right to establish a physical location for people to come together. Communities want culture, and cultural groups want a home to nurture and celebrate their heritage. There is a growing unmet need for real, in-person cultural connections in communities across the country. WHCC facilities can provide that home, starting with our proposed location in New York’s Lower Hudson Valley.
Our Mission in the U.S and Globally
One World. One Family. One Human Race. Diversity is Strength.
What we believe at the W.H.C.C:
Empowering the World Through Heritage, Culture and Diversity
The W.H.C.C is a charitable, non-profit cultural organization established in 2005 that aims to create a more harmonious and cooperative society by educating communities about the positive aspects of different cultures through culture-focused activities such as dance, music, arts and food.
Cultural identity and diversity is a powerful force for social harmony. To understand where you come from and where others come from fosters a greater understanding and respect for different cultural values and customs.
It is not uncommon for those who come to a new country from their native land to feel lost in a sea of different cultures and customs. The Arts are an effective and familiar platform which allows people to experience new cultures directly or to maintain a strong self-identity connected to their deep ancestral roots.
The W.H.C.C is not only aiming to sustain itself, but to help make a bigger impact in the world by connecting resources and our network to not re-invent the wheel, but to help other nonprofits and causes in the U.S and internationally.
