POSITIVE TRANSFORMATION THROUGH CAPOEIRA ARTS

In our 32 years as a women-led San Francisco cornerstone for art and culture, we’ve seen people from all walks of life become better versions of themselves.

Our programs teach people to approach challenges as opportunities, break through perceived or imposed limitations, improve their health, value each other, and work together to benefit the whole.

ACSF began as a Capoeira training school, but we’ve evolved into a workforce development track cultivating and supporting artists, and a social justice organization amplifying gender equity in Capoeira, building confident leaders, and creating economic mobility through careers in Capoeira and beyond. Our drive for growth isn’t only because there’s a need and opportunity; it’s because expanding our core services – classes, performances, apprenticeships, artist employment – means we can amplify the voices and agency of people in our programs.

For every individual we impact, we generate a ripple of change that can reach a family, a community, and society.

With your support, we can expand the impact of ACSF and empower more individuals to become the best versions of themselves, creating a place and a community where we see the best of humanity.

Can you help us reach more individuals and initiate even more ripples of change?
