OUR MISSION
curate transformative learning experiences abroad
OUR VALUES
1. Global Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
We value diversity in all its forms and are committed to supporting historically marginalized groups, including Black students, while fostering inclusivity and belonging. We strive to create spaces where individuals from different backgrounds, cultures, and identities can come together to learn, share, and build bridges of understanding
4. Community Empowerment
We are committed to sustainable and responsible travel practices that preserve natural and cultural heritage. We emphasize community empowerment by supporting local initiatives, businesses, and entrepreneurship. By focusing on sustainability, we aim to create long-term positive impacts that benefit local communities and foster economic independence.
2.Experiential Learning
We believe in the power of exposure to diverse perspectives, experiential learning, and building bridges between cultures. Our programs provide educational experiences that foster understanding of historical, cultural, and economic ties, enabling participants to engage in meaningful collaborations.
5. Sustainable and Responsible Travel
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
3. Cultural Identity and Heritage
We recognize the transformative power of exploring one's cultural roots and the impact it can have on personal growth and identity development. We aim to provide opportunities for Black students to reconnect with their West African heritage while reflecting on their "Americanness" and fostering a sense of belonging in both cultures.
6. Leadership and Social Impact
We empower Black students to become leaders and agents of social impact in their home communities and through international connections. We provide opportunities for skill development, leadership training, and networking, encouraging participants to utilize their knowledge and networks to foster economic collaborations and drive positive change.
