An informational event that aims to bring together the different youth leaders in AYL.
The Academy For Young Leaders is a program focused on advocating for the Somali youth in Eden Prairie. The program started in 2010 and has been helping students since. Farrah Osman founded the program. She saw that the Somali youth in Minnesota were facing problems. Children were turning to substance abuse and they were not receiving their diplomas. Since she did not see any programs that actively advocated for these vulnerable Somali youth, she decided to make her own. Her program has positively improved and impacted many lives. It gave students such as myself hope that they can succeed academically and that they qualify for a lot of the opportunities around them.
This event aims to once again bring together the different student leaders within AYL who have been seperated due to the covid-19 pandemic. We have paused meetings and this event will help bring back our old group of students as well as prospective ones.
