Leadership

Reaching out is the first step to improving
At Ifarada, our leadership programs are designed for youth and young adults to build their capacity for success in lifestyle, career, personal development, and collaboration.

Our Approach

 We offer a suite of programs that are designed to guide and nurture youth’s transition into adulthood. Leadership programs are designed to ground youth in the skills to achieve their wildest dreams, and enhance their knowledge of critical race theory and cultivate their racial and cultural pride. Many of the leadership programs are offered at no cost, and may provide financial support to attendees.
