Help Expand the Forever Connected Ghana Artisans Trip
The Forever Connected Ghana Artisans Trip is a transformational educational and cultural experience that connects young people to leadership development, cultural immersion, entrepreneurship, history, and the African diaspora through hands-on learning in Ghana.
Last year, five youth participated in our inaugural cohort and returned with a deeper understanding of identity, culture, leadership, and purpose.
This year, support from the Department of Parks and Recreation has made it possible to continue the program for five youth participants. We are now seeking community partners and sponsors to help expand the experience to an additional cohort of young people.
This is more than travel. It is an investment in growth, leadership, perspective, and opportunity.
Current funding supports approximately five youth participants.
Additional sponsorship support will help expand the experience to a second cohort of five additional youth.
