Littlionaire Program
OGI’s initiative for youth empowerment, the Littlionaire Program focuses on nurturing the leaders of tomorrow. We believe in the potential of every young person to make a positive impact on the world. Programming equips young people with the skills they need to navigate life successfully while also affirming their cultural identity and strengthening their sense of belonging.
