We’re passionate about helping you grow and make an impact.
About Okoye-Chase
Okoye-Chase connects Canada and Nigeria through practical coaching and grassroots youth work.
On one side, we help students and skilled professionals make clear, informed decisions about studying, working, and building a future in Canada—without the gimmicks or false promises. On the other, our youth foundation in Awka supports young Nigerians to build skills, confidence, and real economic opportunities at home.
Together, our consulting practice and our foundation reflect one mission: helping young people make better choices, access real opportunities, and create change in their own lives and communities.
Meet Krista
Krista Chase is an ICEF-certified Education Agent, Canadian entrepreneur, and seasoned economic development executive with over 20 years of experience in business, workforce, and community growth. She has advised industry leaders, governments, and organizations around the world—and now focuses that expertise on guiding individual clients and families through complex Canada pathways.
Krista is also the co-founder of Okoye-Chase Youth Foundation in Awka, where she works with Nigerian youth on digital skills, social enterprise, and practical career development. Whether she’s helping a client map a realistic education or immigration plan, or working with youth in Awka to design community projects, her focus is the same: clear strategy, real options, and long-term impact.
Meet Izu
Born and raised in Awka South, Izuchukwu (Izu) Okoye has dedicated his life to community service and youth advocacy. His own experiences with limited opportunity, unemployment, and political frustration shaped his commitment to helping other young people find their voice and their path.
From a young age, Izu has taken on leadership roles in political and community spaces—speaking in forums, organizing youth gatherings, and engaging with local officials to ensure that youth concerns are not ignored. As co-founder of Okoye-Chase Youth Foundation, he focuses on giving young people practical tools: leadership development, advocacy skills, and community-building initiatives that help them move from frustration to action.
Izu’s journey—from navigating hardship in Awka South to becoming a respected youth leader—guides the foundation’s work. He believes that when young Nigerians are equipped with skills, information, and a platform, they don’t just participate in their communities—they transform them.
