OLORI-Black Youth Leadership Program

The Olori Collaborative works with 4 partners: Black Creek Community Health Centre (BCCHC), For Youth Initiative (FYI), Somali Women & Children’s Support Network (SWCSN) and Urban Rez Solutions to build an intentional, sustainable-communal support, and social advocacy for Black youth leadership. Olori, the Yoruba word for ‘leadership’, is a youth initiative aimed to facilitate a change in how Black youth’s voices are heard and in what ways they can be engaged in deeper and meaningful discussions. These discussions include the socio-political realm within the City of Toronto, by changing the single-story narrative, which often presents, defines, and limits Black youth’s opportunities
