Educational Component

The six-month course provides personal, educational, and professional training and mentorship for African multilingual youth through interactive sessions using Google Classroom.

Students develop an awareness of the personal strengths and skills required to pursue an active role at the local and global level by completing four personal growth projects during the six-month program.

They work on self-paced learning projects through activities, resources, lectures, and assignments that will be posted per session.  Students receive one-on-one tutoring and mentorship from global volunteers and partners.  Students will have one monthly synchronous meeting.  They are assigned an adviser. 

When they complete the course, students receive a certificate of completion or a certificate of attendance. An ePortfolio containing the final products of each assignment will be created for each student.
