Our goal is to bring together Black youth from all over the GTA and surrounding areas to assist in their participation and leadership within the Black community. We aim to give youth a voice and an opportunity to be heard on issues that impact our society. We also aim to help youth understand the oppressive nature of the system we live in and how it is the root cause of all the major problems our community faces. Through events and initiatives we try to inspire Black youth to truly love and value the African collective our community represents.

Foremost, we value African life.
