We raise awareness of social issues and foster cultural understanding and appreciation through programs in the arts, education and public affairs.

Our work has been recognized by the Union Square Awards and the Citizens Committee, among others, for representing the positive side of Haitian culture and encouraging cross-cultural exchanges among Haitians and the broader NYC community.
