The National Rites of Passage Institute is a nonprofit dedicated to facilitating child, youth and community development through the use of an African-Centered Rites of Passage that promotes identity, resiliency and village building. The products on our site are designed to further that mission by providing resources to the public about the rites of passage process and its impact. We also have items that show support for the organization. We thank you for your support of our organization and our mission.
