The Yolk of Africa (After School Club) is run on a voluntary basis by people living in the Teshienunga estate. They offer music and dance combined with guidance and help with homework etc. They aim to empower the young people to take pride in their culture, learn traditional West African dances and also develop new contemporary dance styles as well.

Whilst the Club is self-funded, they often need additional resources to purchase musical instruments or costumes etc.
