SANKOFA ARTS AND MUSIC FOUNDATION Music and art remain universal languages transcending cultural barriers and generational gaps. Access to programs that expose youth to music and arts can be impactful catalysts for their creativity, growth and even healing. The Sankofa Arts and Music Foundation focuses on creating access to these opportunities for youth across the Calgary region. The organization boasts both a summer camp and a music program that gives participants flexibility in learning. The non-profit relies on the support of donors and volunteers, working collaboratively to empower young people through the arts to eventually become agents of change themselves. To encourage a broader worldview, the foundation is built on themes of equality, inclusivity, diversity and social justice.
