ZEYBRAH is a community-based cultural organization which creates quality programs for cultural exchange between people of diverse cultures and experiential learning in the arts. ZEYBRAH which means "Zest for Education of Youth Brings Rhythm and Arts Humanities" draws its resources from cultures around the world, with an emphasis on the cultural expressions of the peoples of Africa and the Caribbean. There are two primary areas of programming:
