The Afro-Caribbean drumming is open to youths and persons with disabilities to develop skills for music making, improve inner strength and mental alertness.

Raising Hope Soccer
The program provides opportunity, motivation and skill building for youth (especially immigrant children 8 to 16 years of age) to engage in soccer after-school and out-of-school times.
