In partnership with Carleton University, The University of Ottawa, and the Royal Bank of Canada, the Afro-Caribbean Mentorship Program (ACMP) would like to invite you to participate in our fourth annual “More than Networking” event.

At the end of each fall semester, since 2018, the ACMP has hosted one of its most anticipated events among the series of programs designed to inspire and empower African descent youth (please see our website - www.weareacmp.com.) The “More Than Networking” event attracts African, Caribbean, and Black (ACB) students from high school to post-secondary. The primary goal is to meet with career-minded ACB, and non-African descent, people in the various professions. The “More Than Networking” event encourages the importance of creating a network for the social, political, and economic development of ACB students (ages 15 +).

This initiative will empower young ACB people while intentionally increasing their understanding of the importance of networking. Additionally, by creating a space where the youth can access professionals they may relate to and build their network. All professionals will participate in teaching ACB young people the importance of networking. Professionals are being encouraged to extend an “olive branch” by meeting young people online and possibly connecting with them after the event to continue a positive mentor and mentee relationship. We trust that your time with the professionals will be fruitful, and if you are willing and able, potentially turn into long-term mentorship opportunities.

We look forward to seeing you there! Au plaisir de vous voir!
