Samba is deeply engaged in Rotary International, where he is the District 5950 Chair of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEI), a member of the District 5950 Membership Committee, and Chair of International Service for the Maple Grove Rotary Club. Beyond his civic leadership, he is the Executive Director of the Multicultural Kids Network, a nonprofit dedicated to reducing disparities in education, health, and community development.

Through his professional, civic, and nonprofit leadership, Samba continues to build bridges of opportunity, equity, and belonging both locally and globally.

Due to his own life experiences coupled with a passion for service, Bahr has been involved with organizations that provide a “second chance” to those in need. In 2013, he co-founded a social ministry with his wife, Carla, called Threshold to New Life. The organization’s mission is to “Keep Families Home” through their partnerships and matching grant programs, effectively reducing homelessness. Their organization plays a part in assisting over 600 people and families in getting or keeping their housing each year.
