Motherland:Afrik Impact, our annual celebration of the African diaspora in Colorado, kicks off in July and this year’s events promise to be the biggest and best yet!
The African Leadership Group (ALG) is an established 19-year-old Colorado nonprofit created to serve and improve the quality of life of the African diaspora 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 the African diaspora have on the state of Colorado. During our 2019-2023 Afrik Impact celebrations, 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 10th Annual Afrik Impact celebration.
Mission & PurposeMission: To celebrate the impact of the African diaspora in the state of Colorado and to honor our accomplishments.

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.
