International Volunteer Day is on December 5th. The African Leadership Group team would like to take this opportunity to thank our volunteers, welcome new volunteers, and announce and encourage all to apply to our new volunteer program.
Why African Leadership Group?
African Leadership Group’s mission is to help the African diaspora integrate and prosper by connecting cultures, developing strong community leaders, and advocating for economic, social and educational impact.
