RWANDA
Global Youth Connect, a human rights education and activism
organization based in NYC, is accepting applications from young leaders for its
Summer 2013 programs, which will take place in Rwanda and in New York City.
Each program brings 15 visiting youth (from around the
world) together with 15 youth in the host location (Rwanda or NYC) to engage
together in three key activities:
*A cross cultural human rights workshop
*Visits/Meetings with policy makers, organizations, and
to relevant sites
*Volunteer service with grassroots NGOs on a variety of
human rights issues including but not limited to: education, health care,
food/shelter, access to justice, human rights of marginalized persons
(including children/youth, women, low-income populations, LGBTQ populations,
indigenous populations, genocide survivors)
Given the age range of the programming 16 - 30 (NYC)
& 18 - 35 (Rwanda), this is an opportunity for not only students but also
for young teachers and professionals to gain intercultural human rights
experience and get involved in the global human rights movement.

The regular application deadline is February 15, 2013.
