Our Story

RB Jumpstart Mentorship & Youth Leadership Training Society was founded by Rasie Bamigbade, inspired by her global conversations with youth through social media and in-person interactions in Vancouver. These discussions highlighted a pressing need for empowerment, access to mentorship, and reliable role models. Many young people are already making significant contributions in their communities, but Rasie recognized the importance of providing a safe and supportive space where youth aged 15-29 can further develop their leadership skills, take charge of their futures, and lead with greater confidence.

Youth leadership training societies are essential in cultivating the next generation of leaders—individuals who are not only equipped to lead effectively but are also dedicated to fostering inclusivity, equity, and sustainability in their communities and beyond.

Our strategic plan aims to serve as a clear and actionable roadmap for our organization, guiding us in fulfilling our vision and mission with purpose and impact.
