ABD CLUB EXPERIENCES
Heritage Is Something Children Should Experience
Some lessons are best learned by doing. Throughout the year, ABD Club creates opportunities for children to explore Yoruba heritage, serve their community, connect across generations and celebrate the culture together.
EXPLORE | SERVE | CONNECT | CELEBRATE
Four experiences. One year of meaningful connection.
OUR YEAR OF EXPERIENCES
Each quarter gives children a different way to experience their heritage beyond the classroom.
01
Discover Where Our Stories Live
Through museums, heritage spaces, cultural outings and guided discovery, children have opportunities to encounter Yoruba history and culture beyond books and screens.

Bring the Year Together
Our annual Yoruba celebration brings children, families and community together through language, performances, music, games, food and culture—giving children an opportunity to celebrate and share what they have learned throughout the year.

Where Yoruba Knowledge Meets Confidence, Challenge & Fun
Yoruba Gbayi gives children a fun way to put their Yoruba knowledge into action. Through questions, challenges and friendly competition, children listen, think, respond and show what they know—while building confidence using Yoruba.
Listen • Think • Speak • Play
