Arts 4 Youth Center
Arts 4 Youth programs, which includes sports classes, have existed under Tes’ leadership since 2000. Since then, we’ve built the first paved and public basketball court in the country. We’ve launched to national fame multiple music groups. And continue to offer a wide range of classes in sports and the arts that attract more than 200 students each week.
Whether urban ghetto or rural village, none of the students in our programs remain homeless and all attend school with their education supported by our library and academics program.
All programs are run by Ethiopians, and are made available at no charge to participants without bias or prejudice.
