Youth Programs
LANGUAGE, & CULTURE CLASS
CELEBRATE OUR HERITAGE
Tigrigna is a language spoken by the Tigrigna tribe of Eritrea and is one of the main languages spoken in Eritrea. Currently there are three classes offered: beginner, moderate, and expert. Each class builds off basic language skills, reading, and writing.
Beyond celebrating our cultural heritage at large and small community events throughout the year,the Eritrean Association is also committed to passing on our language and cultural heritage to the next generation. We accomplish this through a thriving Eritrean Language, Culture, and Dance Program for children and youth. This program helps our children and youth take pride in being Eritrean, experience a sense of belonging to the larger Eritrean community, make connections to each other in common purpose, and build a foundation for greater success in school and in life.
