African Leadership Group

On behalf of the African Leadership Group staff, our Board of Directors, and all our community members, we would like to extend a heart-felt thank you for your continued support to our organization over the years.

Since its inception, ALG has delivered programs, services, and community events focused on key issues such as education, career and job opportunities, business development, immigration, and civic participation-regularly reaching thousands of individuals in the local community.

Educational Impact

•ALG’s Youth Empowerment initiative launched an Education Scholarship program in 2021. This program helps to offset the education cost of students attending a two-four-year higher education institute. A generous grant from Banc of California helped 11 scholarship recipients attend a wide range of colleges and universities.

•ALG’s Immigration & Refugee Committee launched an English Class Program for the incoming migrants in 2023. This year, the committee will also launch a Life-Skills Training program as well as a Computer class. In addition to providing social and skill-development programs, we've also hosted a Migrant Resource Fair in October of 2023 which provided up to 400 Migrants with food, health insurance, employment, and many more resources.

Social Impact

•ALG celebrated its 9th Annual Afrik Impact Celebration in August 2024 at the Denver Botanic Gardens. Our main guest speaker was Kent Thiry, Former CEO of DaVita from 1999 to 2019 and current Founder and Chairman of AdvanceEDU, an innovative college providing career services to under-resourced students. 

Economic Impact

•ALG also hosted its 2nd Annual Business Investment Forum - for attendees to learn about business opportunities both within the States and in the continent of Africa while also learning about funding opportunities.

The culmination of our year was having Governor of Colorado, Jared Polis make our dreams come true during our Annual Afrik Impact Gala celebration in August, by issuing an official proclamation establishing the month of August as AFRICAN IMMIGRANT MONTH in the state of Colorado!

We are both proud and honored of this and all our victories this year, but our work is not done. Your contribution will help us continue to provide these programs, celebrate our collective accomplishments, recognize our community champions and have a greater impact in the state of Colorado.

Thank you!

ALG is a project of Colorado Nonprofit Development Center.
