I AM YOU-nique Summer Academy 2026 – A Mid-Summer Recap
A Note From Our Founder | Executive Director:
Every year, the I AM YOU-nique Summer Youth Academy intentionally highlights a different culture represented within our community. We welcomed Ms. Hodge, a proud U.S. Virgin Islands native, who shared the traditions of her homeland with a taste of the islands through her homestyle curry chicken dish.
This delicious experience reminded us that traditional food has a beautiful way of bringing communities together.
Greater Life of Fayetteville is grateful for the generous support of the Cumberland Community Foundation, Inc.’s Summertime Kids Fund, empowering our youth to celebrate cultures and traditions that extend beyond their own experiences.
