Gloria Bigorore (She/Her)
Finance and Social Media Coordinator
Gloria built a strong foundation in community development and youth mentorship through several youth focused programs over the years. When Gloria moved to Canada 8 years ago, she relied on youth groups and community organizations for integration and adjustment to the Canadian system.
Gloria was hired by Mosaic church in 2016 to design a mentorship program that encouraged young marginalised girls in North East London to express their creativity, discover talents and inspire them to become leaders in their community. Throughout this program and her own experience as a young African immigrant, it became clear to her that youth in the Black/African community in London Ontario needed mentorship programs, a safe space and a supportive community.
Gloria has been facilitating weekly sessions, managing social media and coordinating finances for Black Youth Connect since summer 2020
She completed her Bachelor of Arts degree in financial economics at the university of Western Ontario in 2020 and is currently working at a financial institution.
She believes that every black youth in London, Ontario has the ability to reach their full potential when they are surrounded by a strong, supportive and safe community.
