For over 35 years, Destiny Arts Center has skillfully created a community in any space where we offer our dance and martial arts programming. Take a look at the beauty of bringing love to the community in Carter Gilmore Park, and let the summer memories warm you through this video. "Destiny is a space for family and community where young people can actually be themselves, feel safe, have their dignity, and also have a community they can connect to ... those three things can create a space for young people to achieve their highest potential. That's what Destiny is." --Sensei Tesfaye Tekelu, Destiny Arts Martial Arts Director Help Destiny create community by making a gift today.

Mx. Marjorie is a master teacher of kids any age, but she is particularly magical when she works with our Teddy Bears. Here's Mx. Marjorie casting her loving spell and engaging Kindergarteners in movement at Oakland Academy of Knowledge. Destiny is in our second year of deep partnership both in school and after school, thanks to the OUSD Arts Incentive Grant, which supports the creative and cultural lives of Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) students, staff, and families. Let's give Mx. Marj some applause for #TeddyBearMagic #JoyfulAttitude #LeadingByExample #DestinyArts #Oakland
Destiny's Martial Arts program was recently featured in a gathering of the Promising Futures cohort. A project of Futures Without Violence, Promising Futures aims to enhance the capacity of child and family-serving organizations to respond to and prevent domestic violence. This video, led by Sensei Tes and shot and edited by Yoram Savion, exhibits the peaceful warriors that Destiny's program cultivates. It showcases the power of martial arts to heal trauma and create healthy minds and bodies. #martialarts #warriorcode #destinyartscenter #oakland #promisingfutures #futureswithoutviolence
