Share

The Youth Charter hosted Ali Scholars from the Muhammad Ali Institute at the University of Louisville during their 2006 Tour of the UK.

In 2006 the Youth Charter’s relationship developed with the hosting of the Muhammad Ali Scholars in the North West of England where they also contributed to the National Race Hate Crime Conference in Liverpool.

The following year, the Youth Charter was invited to the Muhammad Ali Institute’s “Ali in Focus” week where stronger ties were established between the two agencies.
