Culture is apart of what makes us who we are

OOHC Youth Culture Program

Children who grow up in the Foster care system can sometimes miss out on Culture and Cultural activities due to Family & community separation.

 It is important for every child to know who they are and where they are from and it is a responsibility we owe, to teach them.


PROGRAMMES WE PROVIDE
