About Us | Subomis Children

Advocacy

We work as youth advocates in the best interests of our youth, making sure our purpose is to ensure that youth maintain their human rights while aiding in skill development in all areas of life such as education, health, housing, employment, relationships. We work to combat poverty and inequity by empowering and mobilizing youth to become advocates, service providers and agents of change in their own communities.

We develop arts and culture programs for our youth as a call to action. Our youth engage in activism, using their art as a medium to mobilize communities and encourage collective action.Art reflects society and culture. It helps us understand what we are as human beings and influences how we relate to each other. Art is an expression of our inner thoughts, feelings, and experiences. It's also an expression of creativity that can be used for self-reflection or social influence.

The African Storyteller interactive events build inclusive environments for youth empowerment. We build critical thinking skills by stimulating imagination and encouraging youth to think critically about themes embedded in stories.
Our focus on empowering our youths is done by promoting literacy, cultural awareness, and character development - teaching important life lessons about respect, perseverance and “beloved” community. SCC’s work rebuilds social ties and fosters cultures of belonging.
This work mitigates loneliness, isolation and the growing mental health challenges youth face by supporting positive youth development experiences that ignite hope.
