About CAOBA
The Cultural Association of Brazilian Arts (CAOBA) is a non-profit 501 c(3) Tax-Exempt organization formed in the year 2002 with the primary goal of the strengthening and empowerment of today’s youth through the numerous Brazilian art forms and cultural expressions.
Throughout the world, in both poverty stricken and financially secure environments, children and teenagers are under attack by the constant and incessant influences towards drug use, alcoholism, and depression. CAOBA programs utilize the numerous different Brazilian art forms of music, dance, historic and religious practices, and self-defense systems to develop and improve upon program participants’ discipline, focus, and self-esteem as well as their physical, mental, emotional, psychological, and spiritual foundations.
It is the self-evident results from numerous CAOBA program participants who have overcome their obstacles and become CAOBA representatives and role models themselves that stimulates the development of larger and more in depth community based programs. For a view of past and current programs and presentations, please visit the Events page.
The distinguishing factor of support for CAOBA Brazilian arts programs is that all support directly influences program quality by providing food, clothing, materials, training equipment, and qualified instructors and artists with a passion for empowering youth.
