Many young Garifuna individuals struggle to maintain their cultural identity while integrating into American society. This can lead to a sense of disconnect from their heritage and a lack of understanding of their rich history and traditions. Raíces Nuevas provides a safe and supportive space for these young people to connect with their heritage, access essential resources, and build a strong foundation for their future.
