Who we are

We are a non-profit organization based in Alberta, aimed at developing diverse community leaders (called Talented Fellows) in communities across the country. We recruit talented young leaders and provide them with leadership and career development while diversifying our country’s talent pipeline. Our target is to become the most influential and accessible youth run organization in the world. All we want is to serve the community through the youths, creating a limitless boundary for the less privileged youth

Why YOUTAF?

For too long, the underrepresented youths are neglected, particularly those who identified as Black or people of Color

They lack cultural safety and inclusion in the community. Immigrant youth of color (IYOC) face language, cultural, and income barriers when accessing support. The impact of these challenges has resulted in significant number of youths never fully realizing the fullness of their potential
