Empowering Growth Through Holistic Skill Development

At the Holistic Afro Youth Center, we believe in nurturing the whole individual. Our Holistic Skill Development Program is designed to empower young adults, primarily from Afro-Indigenous, POC and marginalized communities, to thrive in personal, professional, and community contexts. By fostering creativity, collaboration, and self-reliance, we aim to transform challenges into opportunities for lifelong growth.

What We Offer:

  • Creative Workshops: Engage in hands-on activities such as urban gardening, woodworking, painting, and digital media production.
  • Professional Development: Gain practical skills in technology, entrepreneurship, leadership, and financial literacy.
  • Cultural Empowerment: Connect with Afro-Indigenous and community-rooted philosophies, like Ubuntu, to foster a sense of belonging and purpose.
  • Wellness and Resilience: Learn strategies for mental health, self-care, and trauma-informed practices that build emotional strength.

Our program thrives in an inclusive, collaborative environment where young adults can explore their potential, build networks, and become community leaders. Join us in creating a future where every individual can achieve their goals and contribute meaningfully to their communities.

Let’s grow together—one skill, one connection, and one dream at a time.

Creating Homes, Empowering Futures

At the Holistic Afro Youth Center, we understand that housing is more than a roof over one’s head—it is the foundation for stability, growth, and opportunity. Our Holistic Housing Services are designed to support youth who age out of care, offering a spectrum of resources tailored to their unique needs.

What We Offer:

  • Youth-Centered Approach: Co-designed with youth, our services are built to address their lived experiences and aspirations.
  • Housing First Model: A commitment to providing real, stable housing as the first step toward achieving independence and long-term success.
  • Wraparound Support: Beyond housing, we provide access to life skills training, mental health resources, and mentorship programs to ensure holistic growth.
  • Culturally Responsive Care: Rooted in community and cultural understanding, our services honor the identity and heritage of youth, empowering them to feel a sense of belonging and pride.

Our mission is to create spaces where youth feel safe, supported, and empowered to build their futures. With a focus on collaboration, resilience, and community connection, we aim to transform housing insecurity into a platform for independence and self-determination.

Together, we are building homes, hope, and a brighter tomorrow.
