empowering youth of African descent by cultivating resilience, belonging, and a strong sense of kinship.
KinCultivate, formerly Kids for the Culture, is dedicated to empowering youth of African descent in the Mid-Willamette Valley of Oregon, where Black representation and resources are limited.
We offer culturally specific programs designed to meet the unique needs of Black youth. Our initiatives include a summer camp, cultural events, and educational workshops. Through these efforts, we aim to nurture resilience, promote positive racial identity development, and create pathways to success for young people in our community.
