16 Years of Providing Economic, Social and Educational Programs to the African Diaspora Community

The African Leadership Group (ALG) is an established 16-year-old Colorado nonprofit created to serve and improve the quality of life of the African immigrant community. We do this through social, education and economic programs such as youth empowerment, public speaking and leadership classes reaching thousands of individuals. Every year during the month of August, we host a major community event, Afrik Impact, to celebrate loudly and proudly the impact African immigrants have in the state of Colorado.

During our 2021 Afrik Impact celebration, we were both proud and honored to have the Governor of Colorado, Jared Polis, issue an honorary proclamation establishing the month of August as African Immigrant Month in the state of Colorado.

We would like to invite you to join us as a sponsor at our 7th Annual Afrik Impact celebration, featuring a Community Celebration and Concert at the Levitt Pavilion in Denver on Saturday, August 13, an Educational Forum on Monday, August 22, a Business Pitch on Wednesday, August 17, a Business Summit on Wednesday, August 24, and concluding the celebration with our annual Gala, our main event on Saturday, August 27. The theme this year is “Immigration, Integration and Civic Participation.”

Mission & Purpose

Mission: To celebrate the impact of the African Immigrants in the state of Colorado and to honor our accomplishments. Purpose: With a focus on social, educational and economic impact, the African Leadership Group hosts a major Fundraising event each year. The purpose of this event is to celebrate our collective accomplishments, recognize our community champions, and cast the vision for our next year of policy and advocacy work. In addition, Afrik Impact is part of our public persuasion campaign to have the State of Colorado issue a proclamation to officially establish August as African Immigrant Month. In all of this, we celebrate loud and proud, the positive impact of African people in Colorado and honor our contributions. This year’s theme is “Immigration, Integration and Civic Participation”.
