Mission Statement
RYP will create a legacy of opportunities for descendants of the black diaspora by empowering them to excel in all areas of Canadian society. Our young people are more than they know, and through education, career, wealth, and STEM mentoring, RYP will enable them to reach their full potential.
About This Cause
The Realize Your Potential Youth Society is a comprehensive mentoring and education initiative for 8 - 24-year-old descendants of the African diaspora. The society offers a variety of programs that give members the skills, knowledge, and motivation to feel empowered, connected, and ready to realize their full potential. RYP came into existence after a young girl died by suicide Sept 2020. Suicide is not a desire to die - it is a desire to end intense emotional pain, particularly with racism taking on a more significant role in bullying and Black youth suicide. This child's death inspired a group of professionals to create an RYP sorority to educate and uplift the Black youth community from racial inequities and organize a support system. Leaders emerged armed with expertise, determination, tenacity, and courage. Since then, RYP Student Ambassadors have been avidly working to help dreamers aged 8 to 15 as they mentor and support them in finding the right direction. The organization has already implemented many activities and plans to provide youth with the best experience and offer them the best chance for success.
