The Harambee Cultural Society leads our Harambee community in celebrating the varied heritage and cultures of the African diaspora.
The society provides practical support and tools for overcoming challenges faced by trans-racial families and trans-racially adopted children.
The culmination of this support is an annual family camp, the Harambee Summer Festival. This multi-day camp is open to all families raising children who are part of the ACB (African, Caribbean, Black) community.
