Over the winter break, we came across two programs that are offering young adults a trip to the African continent at little to no costs.  One is specifically for high school students and the other for youths and young adults.  

Birthright Africa

Age 13-30 years old
African descent
Travel and Project-based Learning
Travel to a West African Country (Ghana, Senegal, etc)
It appears to be entirely paid for by donors and more than a dozen sponsors including HBO, Essence Magazine, and Blavity
Currently accepting applications

Black Birthright


US Citizen w/ one parent of African Diaspora (African-American, African, Caribbean, Caribbean-American, etc)
High School 9th, 10th, 11th grader...minimum age of 15 and must not have graduated before the trip commences
Current trips are to Senegal in the Summer, but may expand to other African countries
Students only pay $500, and fees associated with obtaining a passport, immunizations, and malaria pills (although Senegal is not a malaria zone, it's for precaution)
Funded by The Tunstall Foundation
Application accepted until February 29, 2020


What do you think of what these organizations are doing for youths and young adults of African descent? If you met the criteria, would you participate?
