In many ways, the young people who participate in OYA activities in 2020 have not changed much in the 20 years since we started. They:

• are all pre-teenagers or teens, ages ranging from 10 to 19.

• come from all over Africa – east, west, south - and the Caribbean 

• live all over London, but mostly in Barnet, Harrow and Brent.

• attend 40 different primary and secondary schools.
