Centre Kapwa

Centre Kapwa is a non-profit organization that serves and supports the mental health and well-being of Montreal Filipinx Youth and their families through art, movement and conversations. Our mission is to Unlearn, Unite, and Uplift. Unlearn: Centre Kapwa’s values are rooted in restorative justice and transformative leadership. This means that we aim to collectively unlearn imperial histories, and reclaim our narratives. Unite: With three historical colonial invasions, multiple waves of migration worldwide, and over 7000 islands, we recognize, honour, and celebrate that Filipino/a/x/s are not a monolith. Uplift: We offer experiences rooted in decolonization, healing, community capacity building, civic engagement, education, empowerment, and intergenerational leadership.
