A legacy of the National Black Canadians Summit, the Power of Youth initiave empowers young Black leaders to shape the future of their communities—one project at a time. It began with a vision: a Canada where racial equity is not just a promise but a reality. At the National Black Canadians Summit, youth, community leaders, and policymakers came together to shape that vision, resulting in the Halifax Declaration—a bold action plan for justice, recognition, and development.
But declarations don’t create change. People do.
This initiative supports visionary young changemakers in launching and growing community-based projects that promote recognition, justice, and development within Black communities across Canada.
