PROGRAMS & TRAINING  (coming soon)

Discovering Me (Finding Your Purpose) 

The ME Within Me (TMWM) is an exciting experience designed to equip youth of African ancestry to discover who they really are. This experience is a fun and informative training program, specifically designed to help the participants discover their purpose in life.

1. This will be achieved with lectures and an accompanying workbook. No two participants will have the same answers because the questions are personal.
2. The youth will be assisted in how to take the next step of actuating their purpose. 

Self Construction (Character Building) 

It is often said that true character can be measured by what one would do if no one is looking. Character is something that is “etched" into us by the experiences that we have as we go through life. 

The purpose of the Character Building Program for the youth is to instill certain positive traits. 

1. Indoor and outdoor training takes each participant out of their comfort zone and forces them to 'dig deep' to find new resources within themselves.

Outdoor education provides opportunities for youth to conquer fears and manage risks. The youth will learn more about themselves and about their peers when they are exposed to challenging situations.

Spinning Your Wheels (Developing Critical Thinking Skills)

Critical thinking is self-guided, self-disciplined thinking which attempts to reason at the highest level of quality in a fair-minded way. People who think critically consistently attempt to live rationally, reasonably, empathically. The purpose of developing critical thinking skills within our youth are as follows:

1. Use concepts and principles that enable them to analyze, assess, and improve thinking;
2. Develop the intellectual virtues of intellectual integrity, intellectual humility, intellectual civility, intellectual empathy, intellectual sense of justice and confidence in reason;
3. Improve their reasoning abilities;

Lend A Hand (Civic Responsibilities)

Civic Responsibilities is defined as the "responsibility of a citizen". As the youth are transitioning from childhood to adulthood, it is important for them to be active participants in helping to make Ghana and Africa better for their generation and for generations to follow.

Roots (African History Program) 

The African History Program’s purpose is to reintroduce African history to youth of African ancestry, affirm African pride, promote African oneness, and cement the idea of Africa/African first in the minds of every participant. These attributes are critical in helping to build a new self-reliant Africa.

This will be accomplished utilizing videos and partaking of lectures from staff and guest speakers on various subjects pertaining to African history. Learning true African history will lessen the likelihood and ultimately rid the next generation of self-hatred manifested in white god worship, skin bleaching, despising their natural hair, loving all things European, and migrating to Europe or the USA.

Touch Back (Mentoring Program) 

The purpose of the mentoring program is to establish relationships between established adults and youth and young adults and school-aged children. This will be done in a two-tier process.

2. The second tier will be transitioning the mentoree to mentor younger children in their communities, which will teach accountability and responsibility.

The Compound (The Arts)
