PRAC of Southern New Jersey hopes to identify and address the needs of low to moderate-income community members by developing strategies and programs that facilitate social, and economic growth, and self-sustainability along with promoting cultural awareness and events.

Hispanic Cultural, Heritage, Arts, Entertainment, and Sporting Initiatives
P.R.A.C. of SNJ is committed to fostering a relationship with the entire community. Through our Hispanic Cultural, Heritage, Arts, Entertainment, and Sporting Initiatives we are able to provide world-class Hispanic Programs to build bridges throughout the community and break down barriers through our initiative.

P.R.A.C. is committed to fostering a partnership by hosting events such as the Legends of Salsa Concert Series at the Levoy Theater in Millville, Salsa with the Stars at the Cumberland County College, cultural programs at the Salem Community College Davidow Theater and an annual international baseball Ambassador Tour with the Puerto Rican U-16 Baseball team competing in Southern N.J. just to name a few of our projects.

PRAC will continue to take the lead with these types of events as we grow our programs throughout the region in the upcoming year. So keep posted and hope to see you at the next event!
