Arts and Culture

We focus on programs centered around revitalizing culture in the Berkeley-Oakland community. We host various cultural events such as the Salsa and Bachata Fundraiser Night, Afro Dances classes, and other activities.

Programs like these help embrace the intersectionality of our community members and the diverse cultures of the Bay Area. These events highlight the importance of cultural appreciation and demonstrate solidarity among different groups.
