GCAF Centre is a creative, safe space that empowers young women and girls ages 8-25 through Arts.

The GCAF Centre establishes valuable partnerships with local artists, creatives, and entrepreneurs dedicated to empowering young people to discover their creative passions. By joining forces with these inspiring individuals, we provide exceptional instruction and mentorship that complements traditional education, creating a well-rounded learning experience.

Our creative learning programs impart artistic skills and expose youth to various career and entrepreneurial opportunities that can emerge from developing a lifelong love for learning. By removing young individuals from their regular or potentially unsafe environments, the GCAF Centre nurtures their innate creative abilities and sheds light on promising career paths. We strive to eliminate barriers that hinder youth from accessing creative learning, ensuring that those eager for these opportunities can readily embrace them.

At the GCAF Centre, we believe in fostering unlimited imagination among young people, mainly when they have the optimal conditions to flourish. Participants in our programs depart with a revitalized sense of their potential and a newfound ability to contribute positively to society as part of the creative class and the creative economy.

“Through art, women and girls can give voice to their experiences, hopes, and dreams and inspire others to join them in pursuing a more just and equitable world.”
