We began in Pilsen, a lively and culturally rich neighborhood, which served as our launch point. Over time, we have expanded our reach to serve communities throughout Chicago and its suburbs.
This, along with financial backing from various levels of government, foundations, schools, and private entities, has enabled us to offer top-notch services to families across Illinois.
Adult Folkloric Dance classes offered by Frida within the communities have always been a success. For over two decades, Frida has made a significant impact within communities, and the Adult Folkloric Dance classes have been no exception. The Families, besides breaking their routine, having fun, and relieving some stress, get the chance to connect with other families, work on developing their personalities, and regain and strengthen their self-esteem while discovering new perspectives and ways of living. The Adult Folkloric Dance Classes are available at all the schools where Frida has ongoing programs, and all community members are welcome.
For over two decades, at Frida Community Organization, we have devoted much of our work to enhancing the educational opportunities available to the parents in our community.
