Gullah Geechee Kwanzaa in the Garden

Welcome to Gullah Geechee Kwanzaa in the Garden!

Come celebrate the rich heritage of the Gullah Geechee culture at Jenkins Youth and Family Village! While we prepare for the upcoming year by growing our own food. Join us for a tour of Jenkins Youth and Family Village and discover how founder Rev. Jenkins created this space as a safe haven for Black youth.

Experience the vibrant traditions of Kwanzaa as we honor the seven principles: Umoja (unity), Kujichagulia (self-determination), Ujima (collective work and responsibility), Ujamaa (cooperative economics), Nia (purpose), Kuumba (creativity), and Imani (faith). Don’t miss this unique opportunity to connect with the community and immerse yourself in the Gullah Geechee culture. Mark your calendars and join us for a memorable celebration in the garden!
