During our conversation, Mobafa talks about:
– About and why the African Canadian Legal Clinic started YJEP

– Some of the challenge that young Black men face in general and his thoughts on some of the solutions
– The story behind The Imani Awards that the African Canadian Legal Clinic is presenting February 24, 2013 (today)
– Some YJEP success stories
– How different groups can help Black men
The African Canadian Legal Clinic and the Youth Justice Education Program will host the inaugural Imani Awards at 2pm on February 24, 2013.
The Imani Awards are a celebration of African heritage through recognizing the accomplishments of African Canadian youth in the GTA that have overcome adversity in the area of education, mental health, criminal justice and child welfare.
The awards show was developed by a group of eight young inner city African Canadian men that are involved in the ACLC’s Youth Justice Education Program.
All proceeds from this event will be used in funding a trip to Africa for the group. The journey to the motherland will connect these youth to their African Heritage, as well as provide them with an opportunity to assist in community development projects while overseas.
The Youth Justice Education Program (YJEP) is a paid work program and for some of the participants, this is their first time ever having a real job.
