Welcome to our Clubs and Workshops:
The goal of our Clubs and Workshops is to provide a space for Mekensa to expand their cultural horizons and build a connection with the community.
Our Clubs Program provides a space for participants to meet, share resources, discuss topics of mutual interest, and engage in fun activities together. Students enrolled in our language programs get free membership to one Club of their choice. Clubs are open to adults 16 years and older.
