Our mission is to act as an advocate on behalf of the AME churches in the 6th district. We strive to better our young adults' faith actively and publicly. Allowing faith-based values to guide decisions, behaviours, and engagement with the world. We aim to provide a strong moral compass, clear sense of self and belonging, while anchoring values during times of change like college, career entry, or relationships.
