Compañeras Program
The Compañeras program at El Centro AMISTAD, founded by Elena Aranda along with other women in the community, began in 2002 with the intention of having a safe space where we could build community.
Since then, we meet weekly to share our concerns, our time, our skills, and to explore everything that helps to improve women’s holistic health We all count, we all contribute, and we all nourish each other with everyone else’s knowledge.

Who we are...
We are women working to promote and strengthen a culture of solidarity that implies accompaniment, respect, equality, and mutual support among women.
What we do...
We believe…
When someone shares what she doesc in her life, her talents and experiences, the others become involved, make commitments, and together they discover new ways to create in community. This creates a safe space where everyone can share and flourish.
This is the Compañeras movement.
ArteSana
ArteSana is a space created so Spanish-speaking women can come together, connect with their creativity, and celebrate their identity and roots. We offer classes in herbal knowledge, traditional cooking, painting, jewelry, papier maché, and crafts.
ArteSana offers accessible art and emotional wellbeing. The workshops are designed for learning and sharing about our culture and connecting with other community members. In ArteSana, we believe that culture heals and art is healthy.

SALUD Y SABIDURÍA
(Health and Wisdom)
This is a program in El Centro AMISTAD focused on promoting health and wellbeing among Spanish-speaking women over 50 years old who live in Boulder County.
We would like to combat the isolation that this group can experience, and thus improve their quality of life and their ability to make positive decisions about their health.
We plan social, cultural, and educational activities, especially ones that are fun, involving all participants; in this way we enrich our knowledge, and create significant relationships that go beyond family or the workplace.
