About Us

All we endeavour to do is to support African-Australian youth from the inner city suburbs of Melbourne. The opportunity to thrive is all they need and that’s exactly what we nurture and promote through our various workshops, projects and programs.

Holiday Program

One of the staples of IMAAP activities is our excursions. We hold excursions every school holidays to expose young people to various places: to enjoy, gain valuable experiences from and it’s all free!

Basketball – Females Only

HOMEWORK CLUB (HWC)

Here at IMAAP we like to have fun as much as the next person, but we love getting work done even more! Our HWC is here to support you through any area you need assistance in. Register now for a spot in IMAAP’S HWC 2021, which will be via zoom.

Year 10-12 English and Year 11-12 Math classes available.

BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT

We hold an annual All-Star Women’s Basketball Competition in collaboration with ISV. Women from all over Melbourne compete head to head in either A Grade or B Grade streams for the top spot. Watch this space for more information regarding the next tournament.

MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM

Growing up is not easy and at each stage of development there are challenges that will test your emotional and mental health. Our mental health programs are designed to implement strategies and services for our youth to build lasting relationships, communicate effectively, and adapt to change as they grow into adults.

SELF-DEVELOPMENT

A major component of what we do at IMAAP is to empower the youth to be more self-aware, boost self-esteem and connect with the community at large. We must nurture the leaders of tomorrow by providing them with support, access and the resources to do this.

LEADERSHIP PROGRAM

At IMAAP we believe and trust that young people have always and will always be the drivers of change in our world. We actively encourage them to be leaders in their own lives as well as in their local communities. Our leadership program is where we take bright young leaders and encourage their development.
