G.L.E.A.D JOURNEY
Rooted in ÀJÒ’s philosophy—Adventure, Authenticity, and Alignment—the GLEAD journey is an intentional experience that nurtures both the mind and body through immersive exploration, cultural connection, and personal growth.
Each program pillar is designed to be a mindful journey, integrating daily opportunities for students to pause, reflect, journal, breathe, and grow—ensuring a transformational experience far beyond the classroom.
GLEAD JOURNEY FOR HIGH SCHOOLS
Why This Program:
🌍 Global Learning, Engagement, Awareness & Development.ÀJÒ, meaning "Journey" in Yoruba, delivers an enriching group getaway emphasizing Health, Spirituality, and Exploration. We recognize the profound connection between the mind and body and guide you in nurturing both during your travels.
Our cross-cultural program aims to offer students a first-hand experience of diverse cultural norms, broadening their worldview and enhancing intercultural communication skills in South Africa.
We believe exposure to different cultures fosters global awareness, increasing empathy and compassion in young adults. Mindfulness, integral to our journey, reduces stress, enhances attention, improves relationships, and strengthens compassion among participants.
The trip is meticulously designed for students to explore South Africa's education, economy, media, diverse religious practices, leisure activities, and historical evolution. Mindfulness is a key component, fostering a deeper connection with experiences and heightened awareness of cultural nuances.
STUDENTS RETURN WILL:
- Stronger global and cultural awareness
- Practical volunteer and leadership experience
- A reflection portfolio ideal for college applications and scholarship essays.
Through immersive learning in South Africa, students develop key skills in cultural awareness, leadership, and communication — all while building an experience that stands out on any college application or scholarship resume.
Join The GLEAD Journey — where curiosity meets purpose, and global citizens are born.
