Somali Youth Mentorship
Somali youth mentorship is an intergenerational Somali Male mentorship program aimed at youth between the ages of 16 and 26 in the Ottawa area. With one-on-one and group mentorship models, the program aims to build tangible skills, foster lasting bonds and create opportunities for all. My aim is to work on improving and expanding the project across the city of Ottawa in multiple ways.
