Founded in 2016 by young people from the Afro-descendant community of Quebec City, the Forum Jeunesse Afro-Québécois (FJAQ) is a non-profit organization that aims to be a vibrant and innovative laboratory for the integration, civic participation, and empowerment of young people of Afro-descendant descent in Quebec. Through an inclusive approach, by and for young people, the FJAQ supports the emergence of Afro-descendant leaders engaged in Quebec society.
