Dear YMWAHA Friends,

Have you ever thought about the future of your community and what key changes need to happen for greater growth and greater prosperity? For every great metropolitan region, there is a thriving and growing diverse community. YMWAHA is a community based non-profit agency dedicated to providing Cultural, Arts, and Education programs geared towards empowering school age children and their families. YMWAHA engages the community through our cultural, arts, and education programs which are tailored to promote a sense of determination and accomplishment for all ages. YMWAHA programs were developed with the core philosophy of broadening horizons while encouraging participants to view themselves as members of a global multi-cultural, multi-talented society while embracing opportunities for personal achievement and growth, creative expression and social change. Our overall aim is to promote health in social, economic, educational, cultural and spiritual development by helping families produce children that are prepared to become positive and active members of society.

Here is your chance to help!
