Africano Information

We are a Waltham-based non-profit that seeks to expand potential and opportunity for African immigrant youth and their families through socio-cultural programming that promotes African languages, customs, and values. Through both in-house programming and workshops in community organizations and schools, we promote understanding and appreciation for Africa's rich history and heritage. Our after-school programming for youth and weekend classes for adults provide a safe space for immigrants to build their creativity, confidence, and self-efficacy while staying connected to an African cultural framework. Through outreach and engagement, we aim to help those most in need to positively and successfully integrate into the Waltham community and cultivate cultural awareness.
