AFRICAN LEADERS COUNCIL INC

The African Leaders Council (ALC) is a Florida 501(c)3 nonprofit established in 2015 to serve US Citizens and Permanent Residents who are African immigrants and descendants of African immigrants by improving their quality of life. We help individuals all over Florida through social, health, education, cultural and economic programs such as workshops, community outreach, and conferences. Every year during September, we loudly and proudly, celebrate the contributions and positive impacts our community has accomplished throughout the state of Florida. We represent all regions of Africa(North, South, East, West & Africa Islands). We are diverse and building teams all over Florida to participate and contribute to their local district, civic and community activities and programs. VISION We envision a Florida community where US Citizens and Permanent Residents, primarily composed of African immigrants and their descendants across national origin, tribes, and language have proper access to resources and are actively engaged in civic growth, cultural awareness and sustainable capacity building. MISSION Our mission is to help create awareness and foster integration and prosperity in the African diaspora through impactful cultural connections, development of strong community leadership and education in economic, social, health, cultural and educational advocacy. Our Mission is broken down into outlines which we call our 4 Pillars: ? INTEGRATION: Help the African diaspora integrate ? ADVOCATE: Advocate for economic, social, health, cultural and educational prosperity. ? AWARENESS: Create visibility through cultural and impact campaigns ? COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP: Develop strong cross-cultural leaders and good citizens where they live and work.
