Batey Urbano in Chicago

This Puerto Rican/Latino youth membership club and internet coffee-house exists with a threefold purpose: a) to showcase the talents of the area's youth and engage them in a continuous dialogue about youth, art, culture and the community; b) to link Puerto Rican/Latino students in the area universities with the community, particularly through publications and performances; and c) to provide a place in which older youth share their creative skills in a process of social ecology with younger people
