We are proud that Blackstreet Foundation had the opportunity to support the impactful “It’s a Trap Expansion” community event by contributing toward lunch sponsorship.

We commend North-South Development Roots and Culture Canada and all organizers, speakers, community leaders, advocates, educators, and law enforcement partners for creating meaningful conversations around youth empowerment, crime prevention, mentorship, and community collaboration.

It truly takes an ecosystem working together to guide, protect, and empower the next generation. Events like this remind us that sustainable change happens when communities, families, schools, organizations, and leaders unite with purpose.

Blackstreet Foundation remains committed to supporting initiatives that promote mentorship, education, responsibility, leadership, youth development, and safer communities.

Thank you to everyone who made this event possible and to all participants who continue to invest in the future of our youth. Together, we can build stronger communities and create pathways of hope and opportunity.

Elevate Teen is coming to Ottawa! Volunteers needed!

10/05/2026

Today, our hearts are full of pride and hope as the beneficiaries of the Lanre Ojelabi Scholarship Initiative 2.0 begin their WAEC examinations across Abeokuta North Local Government Area, Ogun State.

To our amazing students:
This moment is bigger than an examination hall. It is the result of your resilience, discipline, late-night studying, determination, and belief that your future can be greater than your present circumstances.

Over the past months, we carefully reviewed applications, assessed academic records, engaged schools, volunteers, teachers, and communities, and applied a rigorous selection process focused on academic consistency, English and Mathematics performance, and overall WAEC readiness.

This initiative was never just about paying examination fees.
It is about restoring hope.
It is about opening doors.
It is about proving that talent exists everywhere when opportunity is given a chance.

Through the support of our donors, volunteers, partner schools, and dedicated team members, students from 18 schools across Abeokuta North received support under this phase of the initiative.

To every student writing WAEC this season:
Walk into those examination halls with confidence.
You are prepared.
You are capable.
You are brilliant.
Do not allow fear to speak louder than your preparation.

Remember:
• Stay calm
• Read instructions carefully
• Manage your time wisely
• Believe in yourself
• Finish strong

We are rooting for you.
Your future is waiting for you.

On behalf of the Lanre Ojelabi Empowerment Foundation (LOEF) and Blackstreet Foundation, we wish every candidate success, excellence, and distinction in this WAEC examination season.

The journey continues.
The future is bright.
