Yakkalla is a welcoming community, and some members say, is more like a family. Members can connect with each other over a cup of tea, game of cards or any other casual activity. Members also participate in fun social and educational activities. Programs are designed by participants for participants. Monthly members meetings guide what activities are available at Yakkalla.
