Keep up to date with all the programs, conferences, aid missions and everything our organisation has been doing. We continue to lift up our communities with our programs, conferences and speaking, being the voice that is heard!
Creating young leaders
Our programs and Conferences are aimed at providing a space and supportive space to all our young pacific men and women. So they can create, explore and speak about issues they may be facing.
Brown Girl Woke provides the tools and our young leaders strive to create a difference in their communities here at home and across the globe.
