African Youth United (AYU) was started in the hopes of educating African youth with the history and legacies of their cultures. The project leaders recognized that in uniting African youth it meant not just African immigrant youth but all African youth.
AYU took a large step in bridging the gap between African immigrant and African American youth. In the beginning, as with all things, it was not a simple task to undertake. A common bond was created between the youth through education, trust, and understanding. After respect and trust were established among the youth many lasting friendships were formed.
AYU was passionate about uniting all youth in the struggle for equality and understanding. Its members strongly believed that no matter where you come from we are all members of the same family, the human family.
In , AYU became its own agency. For more information please contact Ayan Musse at amusse27@msn.com
