In addition, the center is home to the Perfect Youth Group (PYG), a youth-led team, which concentrates on youth empowerment through showcasing the creative talents of youth. The group creates, practices, and performs traditional and modern dance, acoustic and digital music, drama, comedy, and other performing arts. In 2008, the PYG won 3rd place in a major national dance contest held in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The members of the PYG have a great impact on their community.
