5th Annual Gala | Celebrating the Nyamwange Leadership Academy Cohort

An Evening Rooted in Identity and Leadership

This Juneteenth, the Nyamwange Foundation will celebrate the scholars of the Nyamwange Leadership Academy who will participate in our Birthright Afrika experience.


Birthright Afrika strengthens cultural identity, expands global awareness, and deepens the leadership formation that begins here in Jersey City.


This gala supports scholarships, mentorship, and international exposure that prepare our scholars to lead with confidence and responsibility.

The Work You Are Supporting

The Nyamwange Leadership Academy equips students with:


• Leadership development grounded in service
• Advocacy and public speaking skills
• Financial literacy and ownership principles
• Cultural identity and global perspective

 

The Africa experience builds on this foundation and reinforces a sense of history, responsibility, and global connection.
 

This is sustained investment in young leaders.
