Slow Food USA is a non-profit educational organization dedicated to supporting and celebrating the food traditions of North America. From the spice of Cajun cooking to the purity of the organic movement; from animal breeds and heirloom varieties of fruits and vegetables to handcrafted wine and beer, farmhouse cheeses and other artisanal products; these foods are a part of our cultural identity. They reflect generations of commitment to the land and devotion to the processes that yield the greatest achievements in taste. These foods, and the communities that produce and depend on them, are constantly at risk of succumbing to the effects of the fast life, which manifests itself through the industrialization and standardization of our food supply and degradation of our farmland. By reviving the pleasures of the table, and using our tastebuds as our guides, Slow Food U.S.A. believes that our food heritage can be saved.

I.- La bibliothèque/le livre.
La bibliothèque et la lecture publique ouverte à toutes les couches de la société, principalement aux jeunes désireux de s’initier aux pratiques de la lecture et du même coup, d’élargir leur champ de connaissance générale. En terme d’activités : conférences-débats, expositions, festivals, spectacles, projections, panneaux d’affichage, jeux questions-réponses, lecture dirigée, heure du conte, la bibliothèque est devenue un lieu de référence pour les résidants de Christ-Roi et ses environs.

II.- Animation/Création artistique.
A ce niveau, le Centre a produit une série d’activités présentées à la fois en Haïti et à l’extérieur du pays. Art de communication, d’expression et geste lié à la parole, la création théâtrale, selon Pyepoudre, doit être ouverte à diverses couches de la population, et peut, à l’instar, des autres arts, s’associer au grand combat du peuple pour sa survie et sa dignité.

III.- La formation.
Le Centre met l’accent sur le travail théâtral et forme des comédiens tant à Port-au-Prince que dans les villes de province et dans les milieux ruraux, soit à travers des ateliers de théâtre, soit par des sessions de formation en techniques théâtrales. Il organise également des sessions de formation sur les techniques d’animation socioculturelle, de structuration de groupe et de vie associative.
