EMBRACING OUR ROOTS:
Heritage Journey and Rites of Passage Programs
How we help reconnect you to your roots
​
Welcome to a world where embracing our heritage is not just a journey, it's a transformative experience. At the heart of our community, we believe in the power of connecting with our ancestral lands and its profound impact on our young people. This belief fuels our dedication to organizing regular tours and trips to Africa and other significant heritage sites.
Our Purpose
​
To keep the connection to our roots strong, vibrant, and real for this generation and those that follow.
Our African Heritage Journey Program
This unique journey is more than just a trip; it's a homecoming. We understand the significance of touching the soil of our ancestors and experiencing the culture, history, and traditions firsthand. That's why we offer scholarships, making these journeys accessible to young people who dream of tracing their lineage and understanding their ancestral roots. Each trip is a tapestry of cultural immersion, historical learning, and personal growth, carefully woven to enrich and enlighten.
Rites of Passage Program
A pivotal part of our cultural mission is our Rites of Passage Programs. These special, once-a-year events are designed for teens, drawing from rich traditions such as Yoruba, Akan, and Afro-Latin cultures. These programs mark a significant transition in life, celebrating growth and embracing new responsibilities within the community. We honor these traditions by offering scholarships, ensuring that these vital cultural experiences are accessible to all.
Our journeys to heritage sites are not just tours; they're a passage back through time, a bridge connecting the present to the past. As we walk the paths of our ancestors, we don't just see; we feel, learn, and grow. These experiences are irreplaceable and form the foundation upon which we build a strong future for generations to come.
“A people without the knowledge of their past history is like a tree without roots.”
- Marcus Garvey
