(CALGARY) Rooted & Rising - Youth Leadership Summit

Leadership isn't just about titles. It's about knowing who you are, building connections, and having the confidence to create change.

This summer, Africa Centre's Ujima Youth Fellowship Program invites you to Rooted & Rising, a one-day experience designed to empower, equip, and connect the next generation of leaders.

Whether you're exploring your future, growing your career, or looking for a community that believes in your potential, you'll leave with practical insights, valuable relationships, and opportunities that extend beyond the event.
