Abdi-Fatah Elmi
I’m a young community leader who enjoys bringing people together through sports and events. I’ve been involved in organizing programs that give youth a chance to stay active, connect, and have something positive to be part of. I care about creating spaces that feel welcoming and real for the community, especially for young people who might not have access to these opportunities otherwise.
Community Outdoor Sports Tournaments for Youth and Neighbourhood Engagement
Community Outdoor Sports Tournaments for Youth and Neighbourhood Engagement is a series of free outdoor tournaments designed to bring youth and community members together. The project creates safe and welcoming spaces for people to stay active, connect, and compete in a positive environment. Through accessible and well organized events, it aims to strengthen community ties and provide consistent recreational opportunities.
