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

The African Leadership Group (ALG) is an established 20-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 11th Annual Afrik Impact celebration.

Mission & Purpose

Mission: To celebrate the impact of the African diaspora 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 “Connecting Communities, Cultures and Continents”.
