Minority Help
Minority Help uses a participative approach of planning and designing for sustainable development of the local Brazilian-American community’s cultural engagement programs, in which different forms of communication, information, engagement methods, and techniques are applied.
Minority Help
Founded in 2005, Minority Help is a community-based nonprofit organization that fosters ethnically sustainable community development and cultural survival strategies by providing assistance, valuable resources, and a wide range of art-based programs and competent services to the Brazilian-American Community of South Florida.
Brazilian roots blended into a folk festival
Minority Help has been hosting folk festivals since 2006. Minority Help has held the Annual Youth Festival and Expo from 2006 until 2009. Minority Help has also coordinated another important community festival in collaboration with the City of Deerfield Beach and the U.S. Census, in 2010. Since 2017, Minority Help has been hosting the Annual Brazilian Folks Festival as part of the B.R.A.C.E. project. The Brazilian Folks Festival is of huge importance to the local Brazilian community for its mutual contributions to the local Brazilian talents, enhancement of community engagement as well as the celebration of Brazil’s heritage.
Minority Help’s programs help the community to build knowledge and competence, protect rights, bring hope, and restore dignity. Minority Help survives from the fundamental help of volunteers. Minority Help has a long history of collaborative efforts to assist community members with free or low cost community services such as tax preparation, vocational workshops, art-based programs, community events and festivals, and more.
“We hope to integrate the Brazilian-American community by fostering the art and culture, strengthening the identity and promoting development.”
