ABOUT US

Paving the Way to a Brighter Future

The Sacramento Banana Festival is the National Academic Youth Corps largest annual fundraiser.

The Sojourner Truth African Heritage Museum (also known as The SOJO Museum) has been actively involved in serving youth and families in the South Sacramento area since 1996, when it developed numerous creative arts programs under the National Academic Youth Corps, Inc. Its purpose was to enable youth from culturally diverse backgrounds to stretch their minds and imaginations and to provide a safe environment that stimulates creativity, promotes healthy lifestyles, and develops social skills. After obtaining 501(c)(3) non-profit status in 2002, the Museum has offered scores of no- or low-cost programs, workshops, and activities on-site and out in the community to thousands of youths.

These are some of the programs you are helping support:

-Career development and professional training to youth, local artists, and seniors.

-Offer free and low-cost education programs where youth are not turned away because their families cannot afford them.

-Upgrade our interactive technology and multimedia equipment for our media and resource center.
