I am We Are’s mission is to:
“Empower youth of African descent with the tools to confidently own their futures.”
This directly addresses the need for young people to gain agency and control over their lives.
IAWA is “anchored in restoring… hope,” due to “systems of oppression.”
This is to be achieved thru the following pillars:
- Confident Future Ownership: Ensuring that Youth are equipped with the skills and mindset to confidently navigate and shape their futures.
- Restored Hope: IAWA actively works to bring back hope, especially for those who may have been impacted by oppressive systems.
- Development of “Ambassadors”: IAWA wants to ensure that Young people are transformed into leaders who contribute positively to their communities and uphold strong principles.
- Holistic Growth: Through Personal Consciousness, Global Awareness, Entrepreneurial Mindset, and Social Responsibility, individuals develop comprehensively.
- Social Engagement, Global Awareness, Economic Freedom: These are the ultimate outcomes that IAWA envisions, leading to well-rounded, capable, and self-sufficient individuals.
- Global Impact: IAWA’s work extends across South Africa and the United States, indicating a broad reach and influence.
Empower young people to be leaders who share their growth with their communities and uphold principles of conduct.
“CHAMPION THE FUTURE: Sponsor IAWA’s 10th Anniversary and Invest in the Unleashed Potential of Youth.”
Our journey has been one of “Unleashed Potential,” guided by our four core principles: Personal Consciousness, Global Awareness, Entrepreneurial Mindset, and Social Responsibility. We’ve seen young “Ambassadors” grow, lead, and inspire, demonstrating that hope can be restored and that every individual possesses the power to uplift their community.
To honor this incredible legacy and lay the foundation for the next decade, we are embarking on our first-ever cultural immersion trip and anniversary celebration in South Africa.
This journey is more than a moment – it’s a movement. One rooted in the spirit of I Am Excellence – a belief that every young person, every community, and every supporter has the potential to lead, inspire, and uplift.
This is your invitation to become an integral part of this enduring legacy. Your partnership extends beyond a single event; it connects your brand to purpose, demonstrating a deep commitment to transformation and equity on a global scale. As a Level 1 B-BBEE nonprofit with dual tax-deductible status in South Africa and the United States, your sponsorship offers unique advantages, including visibility across two continents.
This is your chance to show up, give back, and be remembered as a champion of youth empowerment and a builder of lasting change.
Will you join us in shaping the future and celebrating a decade of impact?
With gratitude,
