About the event
Our initiative is designed to empower marginalized Canadian youth, immigrants, and newcomers in Edmonton by fostering leadership, promoting cultural understanding, and actively combating racism. We aim to achieve this through a hybrid mentorship model that combines bi-weekly in-person workshops with continuous virtual engagement. By collaborating with recreational centers, schools, and community organizations, we ensure accessibility and inclusivity, meeting youth where they are and providing tailored support to address their unique challenges. This program is meeting the youth where they are, yes, we are meeting them wherever they are MENTALLY, EMOTIONALLY, SPIRITUALLY, GEOGRAPHICALLY, and in the spaces where they are most comfortable to shine, yes those spaces where "typical leaders" shy away from. This was built by "OTHERS" for "OTHERS"
