Past Events
During the COVID-19 pandemic, a group of Somali American young adults united with a mission to combat the growing issue of drug and substance abuse within their community. Initially, they connected through Zoom meetings, bringing together key community members, parents, children, and professionals to provide education and share experiences. These virtual gatherings soon gained support, and in 2021, the group held their first in-person event at Erigavo restaurant, partnering with public health professionals. Recognizing the importance of education, they then organized a graduation award event to celebrate outstanding academic achievements. In 2023, they collaborated with the Somali Student Association (SSA) of OSU, offering hands-on experiences with various professions. Continuing this partnership, they aim to inspire youth with even more opportunities and ideas in 2024, fostering future goals and aspirations.
