Free Children's Programs
As part of our commitment to our community, we offer free out-of-school (OST), Saturday, and summer programs to DC kids, aged 6-18.
A Safe Place to Learn and Grow
Through generous funding from DC City Funds and Learn24, our students are introduced to kung-fu, Chinese lion dance, dragon dance, Chinese Thunder Drumming, and African Djembe Drumming, while developing leadership and teamwork skills along the way.
Our programming fosters teamwork and cultural appreciation through participation in gala events and educational excursions to historical landmarks and museums during the summer months.
All programming is free for DC residents, with a $50 registration fee only.
