It includes over 30 youth programs and 1,800 Kids Care Clubs that engage more than two million young people in all 50 states and internationally.

  • Sojourner Truth Museum -- Sacramento Banana Festival -- August 13-15, 2010
    The Sojourner Truth Cultural Center/Museum has been serving the Sacramento Community for over 20 years with very little funding or no funding! The Museum now serves over 12,000 children and youth of all diverse cultures each year for free. View current schedule for our 9th year of summer camp in partnership with the Martin Luther King Library. Children are not only receiving art education over the summer but reading and math skills also. The children and youth we serve are worthy of funding!!!   Please join us in our efforts for sustainability!!!  The festival will celebrate family, community, diversity, history, health and wellness, and social awareness (green energy).
    View Event Schedule Here.  A Five dollar investment is a worthy investment to help the Museum continue to meet the needs of Sacramento children and youth!!  Purchased tickets online at www.sojoarts.net
