Kisa li yeWhat is iAHM?
A movement, not just a program
iAHM (I American Haitian Movement) se yon inisyativ espesyal pou jèn nou yo, soti Middle School rive College, ki ankouraje yo devlope lidèchip yo epi patisipe aktivman nan kominote yo atravè angajman sivik ak pwojè sèvis kominotè.
iAHM is a special initiative for our young people, from Middle School through College, encouraging them to develop their leadership and participate actively in their communities through civic engagement and community service projects.
Nou envite paran, fanmi, pawas, lekòl ak lidè kominotè pou idantifye, ankouraje epi pwopoze jèn ki kapab benefisye de inisyativ sa a.
