who
we serve

KinCultivate believes in the power of the village. Strengthening families and community is essential to supporting Black youth. While some of our programs are designed specifically for Black youth, others are open to all, creating spaces to connect, celebrate, and grow together. See what’s coming up on our calendar and find ways to get involved.

Definition of African Descent

We serve youth who identify as Black, African, African American, mixed-race, biracial, or connected to the African diaspora.

We honor the diverse experiences and cultural heritage within these identities, fostering a space where all feel seen, valued, and supported.

Definition of Kin

KinCultivate redefines "kin" as a bond that goes beyond family ties, it’s about creating belonging and support for Black youth and their allies.

Kin includes everyone committed to uplifting and affirming the identity, culture, and well-being of Black youth.
