equitable society for people who are marginalized, racialized and of African heritage.

Cultural Preservation

Honoring Our Roots, Celebrating Our Heritage

Our Cultural Preservation service is at the heart of what we do. We provide programs and activities that keep the rich traditions, stories, and customs of African cultures alive. Through storytelling, arts, music, language, and cultural events, we help families and children connect with their roots, fostering a strong sense of identity and pride in their heritage. By celebrating who we are, we build a bridge between generations, ensuring that our culture thrives for years to come.

Family& Parenting Programs

Rooted in positive parenting principles, these programs provide practical strategies for navigating the challenges of parenting within the context of our unique cultural experiences. Whether you’re a new parent, single parent, or simply seeking to enhance your parenting skills, we offer a supportive community where you can learn, grow, and connect with others on the same journey.

We work together to address common challenges, celebrate our successes, and create a vibrant, inclusive community where everyone can thrive.
