Overview
Tibetan Association of Northern California serves the large population of Tibetan people in the Bay Area. With a newly purchased and renovated cultural center, Tibetan Association has moved its Sunday school cultural programming to its new headquarters in Richmond. The Sunday school serves more than 135 students under the age of 18, teaching the Tibetan language and providing instruction in traditional dances and musical instruments in a cross-generational environment. This training helps students become active participants in the preservation of traditional Tibetan cultural practices. With renewed support, Tibetan Association will strengthen the school’s arts programming, including the continued development of a standardized curriculum, pedagogy, and text books. Youth groups will perform between eight and 10 times annually, and the center will host cultural events throughout the year.
