Milagro Center
340 SW 6th Ave
Delray Beach, FL 33444

The Milagro Center, a 501 c(3) organization, was established in 1997 as a cultural community center housing art exhibits, outreach programs, and after-school education catering to a diversified ethnic population of at-risk children and families living at or below the federal poverty level in South Florida. Using the vehicles of academic support, professional cultural art instruction, Living Values education, and one-to-one mentoring, The Milagro Center motivates children to “reach for the stars” while being confronted by adverse influences they face at home, in school, and in their communities. At the Milagro Center we have created a literal “miracle;” a place where children learn the values of responsibility, love, simplicity, peace, and humility. As a result of our unique programs, every child is recognized for his or her own exceptional talents and gifts. Here at the Milagro Center our children are exposed to an abundance of art, culture, education, sharing, connections, community awareness, and an appreciation for life; replacing their exposure to gang related violence, drugs, teen pregnancy, and negative messages they receive through the media or in their personal environments. The Milagro Center provides hope for children who live in neighborhoods riddled with crime and violence, opportunities for children who believe they cannot rise above their circumstances, and self-worth to those children who have been told they are worthless.
