The J.Randle Centre places community at the heart of its mission, acknowledging that people in their diversity give culture its life and legacy. Through ideas that encourage public participation—such as Friends of J.Randle Centre, the greenhouse, open workshops, family days, membership, community festivals, as well as internships and volunteer opportunities—the centre fosters a strong sense of ownership and pride.

This emphasis on community ensures that the J.Randle Centre reflects and responds to the voices and needs of the communities we serve and welcomes diverse audiences to participate in the cultural richness of Yorùbá heritage.
