-WPR Team
Worship Puerto Rico was formed n 2018 and was established as a non profit called Worship Inc in 2019 with the mission of providing disaster support across the Island of Puerto Rico. We are committed to the success and survival of every resident in Puerto Rico through community days that provide education, health care screenings, disaster bags and resilience training to help families build skills to manage the psychological impact of loss.
Beyond community days we host a robust training for volunteers that includes cultural awareness, the history of Puerto Rico, spanish language and musical context. Together with organizations across the US and Puerto Rico we are ensuring that every Puerto Rican has the knowledge and resources that promote survival in the face of the many diasters that impact mortality leaving a lasting impression on the hearts, bodies and minds of volunteers, donors and residents.
