GRCS' 5th Project Passport Africa (Uganda/Rwanda) 2025
For a fifth year, Galapagos is excited to offer a great opportunity for Galapagos alum entering their Sophomore, Junior, or Senior years in the 2024-25 school year. Project Passport Africa at Galapagos brings up to six GRCS alum to Africa. This trip combines learning about east African culture with a leadership retreat. Alum will get the chance to visit Uganda and Rwanda.  There, they will meet and work with Africans their own age and visit locations that will expand their horizons.

The trip will take place in June or July 2025 (date TBD) and it is approximately two weeks long.  This will require some pre-work and fundraising.  Scholars will work together at the summit in Uganda while also having time to explore the region.  Scholars will visit a Ugandan market-place, meet with village elders and spend time on a safari and participate in a three-day youth summit.  Finally, scholars will visit neighboring Rwanda to learn about the genocide that enveloped that nation in the 1990’s while discovering how the nation undertook one of the more successful reconciliations displayed by humanity in the 2000’s.

Application are accepted on a rolling basis and will be reviewed on a first come first serve basis.   First deadline is October 15, 2024.
