Program Highlights

  • Virtual Learning:
    Participants will engage in interactive online sessions covering key topics such as leadership, cultural heritage, global challenges, and community development.
    These sessions will include expert-led discussions, peer-to-peer learning, and group projects, ensuring a rich, engaging learning environment.
    Topics such as African history, Black empowerment, entrepreneurship, and global responsibility will be explored to help participants gain a well-rounded perspective.
  • Cultural Exchange: Through regular virtual meetups, youth from Canada and Kenya will have the opportunity to share their experiences, challenges, and aspirations. Participants will learn from each other, exchange cultural knowledge, and develop friendships that extend beyond borders. Cross-cultural activities such as virtual tours, cooking sessions, and language exchange will encourage appreciation of diverse backgrounds.
  • Mission Trip to Kenya: The program will culminate in an exciting mission trip to Kenya, where Canadian participants will travel to Kenya to work on community projects with their Kenyan counterparts. During the trip, participants will immerse themselves in local culture, participate in community development projects, and experience Kenya’s rich heritage firsthand. The mission trip offers participants a unique opportunity to apply their learning in real-world settings, making a tangible difference in the communities they visit.

Program Outcomes

The Pilot Youth Empowerment Program seeks to achieve the following objectives:

  1. Leadership Development: – Participants will develop strong leadership and communication skills through workshops, teamwork, and practical experience. The program will empower youth to take initiative, build confidence, and lead their own community service projects, both locally and globally.
  2. Cultural Awareness: By engaging with youth from another country, participants will develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of different cultures, fostering respect for diversity and inclusivity. This exchange will promote global citizenship, preparing youth to navigate and contribute to an increasingly interconnected world.
  3. Community Impact: Through hands-on involvement in community service projects in Kenya, participants will make a direct, lasting impact on local communities. Projects will focus on areas such as education, sustainable development, and youth empowerment, leaving behind a legacy of positive change.
  4. Personal Growth: Participants will embark on a journey of self-discovery and personal development, learning to overcome challenges and cultivate resilience. The program encourages youth to develop a sense of global responsibility and purpose, motivating them to continue making a difference in their communities.
