Young Pan-African's Dialogue Vancouver is a concept developed to meet the need for an an informative and interactive platform through which young African minds residing in the city can share, learn and broaden our understanding and views of the development of the African continent. Y-PAD is founded on the strong belief that the progress of Africa remains in the hands of sons and daughters of the continent. It is with this in mind that Y-PAD aims to build a dynamic community that not only encourages conversations on the issues related to development of the continent but also promotes and stimulates ambitions to serve the continent.
