About us
Our Mission
To dismantle barriers to opportunity for people of African descent by preserving cultural heritage, languages, and values, while equipping youth with modern tech skills, mentorship, and a global network to drive community resilience and economic mobility
Our vision
A globally integrated African diaspora where youth and individuals are culturally grounded, technologically empowered, and equitably connected to socioeconomic opportunies, fostering sustainable community-led transformaon across Africa and the globe.
Our purpose
Afrocentricles is a youth-driven organisation dedicated to promoting African cultural identity, personal development, and socio-economic empowerment among youth aged 13-21; and individuals under the age of 40. Through education, creative expression, mentorship, and community engagement, we provide a platform for young people to reconnect with their heritage, amplify their voices, and build sustainable futures.
Governance and history
Afrocentricles operates with a community-based governance model to ensure youth leadership, inclusivity, and accountability. Afrocentricles is governed by a board of trustees and run by Afrocentricles management committee. Our roots stretch back to 2020 during the unfortunate COVID pandemic that had a devastating effect on the Black race and our purpose has always been to promote afrocentric values and provide access to African heritage, culture and adventure. The management committee was eventually constituted in March 2026 following a successful Trade Heist in December 2025.
