YOUNG ADULT REGISTRATION

Over a 10-day immersive program, fellows will participate in a variety of cultural and professional enrichment activities tailored to help them explore their personal and professional aspirations. During their stay, fellows will engage with cutting-edge companies, socially conscious organizations, prestigious educational institutions, and welcoming communities in Rwanda. 

We aim to accompany our first cohort of young adults on this life-changing adventure in June 2026.

We selected Rwanda, in East Africa, as the project’s base because it embodies resilience, strength, and the power to thrive in the face of adversity
