Akoma Rites of Passage Prince/Princess Application
Akoma Rites of Passage Program is a journey for young girls and boys, 9 to 16 years of age. The journey embraces the teachings for self-awareness and self-respect. The journey is approximately a three-month cycle, coupled with a mentor. The mentoring affords the young girl/boy the opportunity to have some guidance from an outside individual who has her/his best interest at heart. The mentor can assist with the navigation of life, ideas and dreams. All mentors are required to have child abuse clearances.
The teachings will be from an Afrocentric perspective. They will be held weekly with a variety of topics, such as, but not limited to journaling, healthy living and relationships. The culmination of the Rites of Passage program will be a cultural trip.
The sessions will be held on selected Saturdays, 9:00am - 12:30pm.
We look forward to having you join us!
