Unity Charity
From the website:
Unity partners with educational institutions, community centres, non-profit and social service organizations to deliver free Hip Hop programming to youth (12-29) in predominantly underserved communities. These weekly programs are 8-30 weeks in length, are delivered year-round, and make up the bulk of Unity’s youth-focused Hip Hop education. Some programs are multidisciplinary and introduce participants to all of the Hip Hop art forms, while others are art form specific, and seek to build the foundations of an amateur or entry level artist’s skill set. Through these programs, youth participants improve mental health and well-being outcomes, and are given significant roles in mentorship, performance, evaluation, and volunteering so they may contribute to the well-being of their communities.

Love of Literature

Representation in literature matters! Our goal is to spark curiosity in Black youth and inspire life-long learners to read books that celebrate, include and represent Black culture. The book club was created to fill a need in the community, improve literacy skills and foster the love of reading in Black youth. We provide a safe space for youth to connect with their peers and review books with Black characters and relatable themes. We are creating a community that supports, encourages and celebrates Black culture through literature and dialogue.

The Power of One Exhibit:
The Abraham Global Peace Initiative
From the website:
The Power of One is the first exhibit in our Museum for Human Rights collection. Thought provoking, it is meant to inspire and empower all people to take action to make the world a better place. The exhibit is perfect for schools, boards of education, civic centres and city halls and police stations. It has very few limitations and is open only to imagination. Booking the Exhibit is Free.
The exhibit features notable figures like Martin Luther King Jr., Mahatma Gandhi, Anne Frank, Helen Keller, Mother Teresa and Malala Yousafzai - among others - who have each contributed to making the world a better place. The exhibit forces its audience to ask: What would you do if you were in the same situation? What choices would you make? Would you risk your life to save others? Would you speak out? How can you help change the world for the better today? The exhibit includes four 8x8 ft panels that neatly open and displayed. It can be arranged in multiple formats depending on space configuration. It is most suitable for atriums and lobby spaces with high traffic where it can be placed for people to see and reflect upon.
Booking the exhibit with AGPI is free. Please contact us at office@agpi.ca
