Welcome to the Miami Chapter of NACOPRW

The National Conference of Puerto Rican Women, Inc. (NACOPRW) is a non-profit national organization with chapters in various cities. We are the only national organization of Puerto Rican women in the United States dedicated to promoting the civic and cultural participation of Puerto Rican women and other Latinas in the economic, social and political life in the United States and Puerto Rico. The Miami Chapter was founded in 1977. Its first Board was presided by Dr. Alicia S. Baró.

We invite you to attend one of our events, become a member, get involved in our community events or participate in our national convention. You can reach us at NACOPRW.MIAMI@gmail.com

In October, we held our annual picnic at Kendall Indian Hammocks Park 11395 SW 79th Street, Miami Fl 33173. We had traditional foods, and a dessert contest. Participants engaged in the citing of poetry and the singing of typical songs using the "Canciones de Borinquen". Some 60 people came and promised to come back next year with maracas and guiros to see if we can engage more youth in the learning of these songs.
