About
Founded in 2020, EL Shama Consulting was established in order to provide children and youth an environment in which they can reach their fullest potential. What started off as a small friends and family-community venue has grown into an enterprise that’s committed to empowering children and youth of all backgrounds and culture. EL Shama Christian youth organization was formed with a mission to provide focus and stability in a challenging world. Our roots are grounded in a commitment to Christian values and principles, aiming to address the needs of young individuals from a wholistic perspective, and dealing with the taboo issue of mental health and illness that often exist within churches. EL Shama is first of its kind to be black focused, Christian grounded and available virtually across all time zones. We create programs, events, and initiatives that align with Christian teachings, fostering a sense of purpose, community, and spiritual growth among the youth we serve. EL Shama strive for self development and will ensure that all that seek our services will leave accomplished Motivated. Our Team We approach youth mentorship from the "trenches". In that, it is our aim to expand our outreach in recreation centers, and parks where youth are always gathered. Through this we bond with youth and introduce our presence. This connects us and help us to share our with our youth and mentor them and direct them to resources. Our team realize that trust is very important to a youth. second to that is autonomy. Once a youth can trust youth and still feel the sense that they have control over what the direction of their life is then the rest is easy from there. It is our goal to extend month youth development workshops province wide, where youth will participate in various life skills training and to bring back a treasure from the pass, "pen pal". Through this programming youth will be paired with each other and they will share letters. The letters will come to us and we will distribute after vetting to ensure that the communication is safe. From this, any youth that need more one to one supports virtually can sign up and services will be provided as funding allowed. Additionally our program is pro-active in that we will travel across the Edmonton area and do drop ins weekly. As the need grows and as funding may allow we may do two teams dropping in and different centers across the the city.
