Bringing in and keeping money in our local economy while preserving the cultural identity of our community

Welcome to the Hecho en Westwood (formerly the RISE Westwood Collective) website. ​

Hecho en Westwood preserves and empowers our community's cultural identity through grassroots initiatives. From its origin as a pandemic-era resource-sharing network to its current status as a registered neighborhood organization, Hecho en Westwood leads culturally enriching events and fosters economic empowerment. Our mission focuses on supporting Latinx/BIPOC-owned businesses, organizing community events, and providing culturally responsive youth programming. We believe in the transformative power of community-led initiatives to celebrate diversity, promote inclusivity, and strengthen Westwood's cultural fabric.

Hecho en Westwood Collective

The Hecho en Westwood Collective serves as the heart of our community, encompassing not only the Registered Neighborhood Organization (RNO) but also a dynamic network of individuals, businesses, and organizations committed to fostering collaboration and resource-sharing. Through grassroots initiatives and economic empowerment efforts, we strive to amplify the voices and talents of our diverse community, serving as a catalyst for positive change and unity within Westwood.

Hecho en Westwood Events

Hecho en Westwood Events celebrate and preserve Westwood's cultural identity by organizing a range of community celebrations that bring our neighborhood together. From our annual Cinco de Mayo en Westwood event to our series of Ancestral Food Festivals, Hecho en Westwood events offer opportunities for local artists and entrepreneurs to shine while fostering a strong sense of cultural pride and unity among attendees. In conjunction with Hecho en Westwood events, the Hecho en Westwood Galeria provides a dedicated space for showcasing and supporting the work of local Latinx/BIPOC artists and artisans. Through our events and exhibitions, we aim to celebrate creativity, honor cultural heritage, and strengthen the bonds within our community

Hecho en Westwood Youth Programs

Hecho en Westwood Youth Programs are dedicated to empowering the next generation of leaders through culturally responsive and enriching experiences. At the heart of our youth programming is the Hecho en Westwood Danza Mexika Afterschool Program, which offers FREE classes for BIPOC Southwest Denver youth and their families to connect with and preserve their ancestral and cultural legacy. We provide a series of different classes, ranging from step-by-step Danza ensayos and Mexika philosophy lectures to engaging hands-on art activities and cooking classes. Through these diverse offerings, we aim to inspire confidence, foster creativity, and instill pride in cultural heritage among youth, strengthening their sense of identity within our community.
