Come and learn about Black Healing Youth Arts Center and what they have to offer!

The Black Youth Healing Arts Center is a safe space in Saint Paul’s Frogtown neighborhood for Black youth to receive healing for their un/under-processed historical trauma. Unearthed historical trauma blocks the potential of full humanity and expression of gifts. The Black Youth Healing Arts Center (BYHAC) provides cultural, ancestral, and innovative processes to healing for Black youth foremost, while creating safe spaces and healing opportunities for youth of color.

You’re invited to the first off-site Teen Hangout at Black Healing Youth Arts Center!

Activities to choose from include:

  • 🧘‍♂️ A facilitated meditation group called “Keeping Calm in the Chaos” workshop angled more towards athletes and teen boys.
  • 🩰 An Afro-fusion dance class.
  • 📚 A workshop led by College and Future Readiness Coordinators, Silvia and Sorena. This can also a drop-in time to chat about post-high school options and help with things like FAFSA, scholarships, etc.
