Educating and Engaging African Teenagers
Mentorship program
To facilitate the holistic development and engagement of teenagers, UVA offers a mentorship program to teenagers. In partnership with IMPACT (a non-profit youth led organization), this mentorship program connects secondary school students to young professionals who serve as role models and mentors while providing real life examples of how to maximize academic and professional experiences.
Teenagers Conference
The purpose of the annual teenagers conference is to create a platform to expose teenagers to the issues facing the nation while providing them with practical skills and knowledge that will enable them contribute to the development of the country from their teenage years onward. The launch event of the conference themed ‘Nigeria @ 50, The Role of Nigerian Teenagers in Nigeria’s Development’ hosted about 600 teens from over 20 schools.

About Us
The Unveiling Africa Foundation is a not for profit organization that was established by students from the University of Alberta in 2006. The foundation’s scope and mandate is two fold: on the continent of Africa and in Canada. Our main mandate in Canada is to promote education, debate and dialogue around global issues and topics that concern Africa while also providing tools and resources for individuals in the Diaspora to transform knowledge into action on the ground. We are also focused on fostering multiculturalism and intercultural learning in Canada through cultural symposiums and exhibitions. On the African continent, we work towards providing and creating access to quality and comprehensive education for African teenagers. Secondarily, we are interested in empowering disenchanted individuals especially African youths through self – employment and micro-loan programs.
