Project Summary:

Empowering Ottawa’s black youth, our program equips participants with policy development skills, fosters inclusivity, and promotes civic engagement.

Join us to drive positive change and build a more equitable future.

Contributing to an Inclusive Canada

Our project aligns with the grant’s goal of fostering inclusivity in Canada by empowering marginalized communities, specifically black youth, and newcomers from Africa to actively participate in shaping policies that affect them. By providing education, resources, and opportunities for engagement, we are addressing systemic barriers that have historically excluded these voices from decision-making processes. Through our efforts to promote policy literacy, civic engagement, and leadership development, we aim to amplify the voices of black youth, enhance their representation in policy discussions, and contribute to building a more inclusive and equitable society in Canada.
