BUILDING COMMUNITY
Being a part of the sister city community
Welcome to the Boulder Cuba Sister City Organization (BOCUSCO) website! BOCUSCO is a 501(c)3 non-profit, non-political, all-volunteer citizen network which exists to create lasting partnerships to promote cultural sharing, understanding and exchange between citizens of Boulder, Colorado and the municipality of Yateras, Guantánamo, Cuba. The Sister Cities International organization was founded by President Dwight Eisenhower in 1956 to foster peace through people-to-people diplomacy.
Yateras, a municipality located in the mountainous easternmost Cuban province of Guantánamo, became Boulder’s sixth sister city in 2002. BOCUSCO operates on the belief that peace is possible through the efforts of one person, one community at a time.

Happy People
After a Q and A with Fidel Castro in December 2000 during our Semester at Sea, it occurred to me that Boulder might consider a sister city relationship that could evolve over time into a bridge of friendship.
For over twenty years delegations from Boulder have brought so many items and so much good will. Several Cubans have been able to visit Boulder also.
With warming of government relations, it is anticipated that these unique people to people trips can begin again in the near future. It has been an honor to have founded the Boulder Cuba Sister Organization (BOCUSCO) and to have served as its president
"The rare opportunity to interact with Cuban people, to share our commonality and friendship, I will never forget this trip."
You Have to Experience for yourself!
