Waryaa is a high school teen program that explores what it means to be Somali in Minnesota. Students will explore the history of the Minnesota community and their place within it. This program explores cultural heritage preservation through food and the stories from their community.
Waryaa meets on Saturdays at Mill City Museum in Minneapolis every Saturday from 9:00am-1:00pm. This program starts on September 24, 2016 and continues through May 13, 2017. Students are expected to participate for the entire school year.

- be self-motivated and able to work on some projects outside of your meeting time
- be on time for meetings as specified in the position description

- Provide two letters of recommendation (PDF) from a teacher, coach or other non-family reference.
