Hecho en Westwood is a vibrant and resilient community in Denver's Westwood neighborhood. Our main focus is on preserving the cultural identity of the neighborhood in the midst of gentrification.

At Hecho en Westwood, we believe that empowering youth is essential for preserving traditions and shaping the future. We provide opportunities for young people to become community leaders, allowing them to actively steward cultural traditions and help shape their neighborhood's future. Through mentorship, education, and hands-on experiences, we equip our youth with the tools and knowledge needed to advocate for their community.

In addition to empowering youth, Hecho en Westwood is also dedicated to supporting the local Latinx/BIPOC businesses that are an integral part of our community. We believe in building a community-owned economy, where residents have access to thriving local businesses that reflect their values. By actively supporting and promoting these businesses, we contribute to the sustainability and resilience of our neighborhood.

Join us at Hecho en Westwood as we actively resist the challenges of gentrification and work towards a future that authentically represents the hopes and aspirations of our residents. Together, we can ensure that Westwood remains culturally vibrant, resilient, and a true reflection of its unique identity.
