I am SO excited for the launch of The Civic Youth Fellowship Program (powered by @AfricaCentreYEG, Canadian Race Relations Foundation, kihêw waciston - @MacEwanU, @IFSSAserves & @CityofEdmonton.) #YEG
For over a decade, Omar served on the board of the @IFSSAserves, helping develop their youth programs. He now works as their “Servant of Servants,” leading in the development of new approaches, systems & digital tools to better support & connect with those they serve. #ableg
Moumenah took part in an Empower U course at @IFSSAserves to learn how to navigate Canada's banking system, build her credit, and her budget.
When you support United Way, you're helping families — like Moumenah's — thrive as new Canadians.
