Kujenga-Viongoz
|
These two Swahili words mean “To build Leadership” The purpose of the program is to develop leadership skills among high school aged youth in the African American Catholic tradition with Christ at the center and encouraging them to attain knowledge about the role of people of African descent in the story of the Catholic Church.
The program is conducted over a weekend in the format of a retreat. It provides a unique opportunity for all youth to share parish and community experiences with their peers and elders. The young people attend workshops and listen to speakers who address a variety of issues and then meet in small “family” groups where active discussions of these topics occur. This leadership conference (retreat) targets African American young people, but ALL young people are welcome!
The African American Affairs Ministry of the Diocese of Charlotte is sponsoring its first Kujenga retreat weekend on June 16-18 2006. Please click here to find out more details for this event.
