BFB #OneWorld Signing, Dancing, & Healing

BFB #OneWorld Singing, Dancing, & Healing is the first of several #OneWorld Youth Empowerment Programs (Soccer and Chess). This program is about promoting diversity, inclusion, and friendships among children, youth, and parents through collaborating with immigrant communities, parent groups, and schools. In this program, we also focus on promoting support and advocacy for individuals with disabilities and their families, who are from diverse communities that have been overlooked and underserved.


BFB #OneWorld Singing, Dancing, & Healing is aiming to demonstrate an inclusive practice through singing together with an effort to respect and support every participant.
