Dear Member,

I’m thrilled to announce the launch of an amazing opportunity for young students – The Amos C. Brown Student Fellowship to Ghana.

Amos C. Brown Fellowship to Ghana - NAACP

This first-of-its-kind program is powered by the NAACP, in collaboration with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and will provide a multicultural group of students the opportunity to travel to Ghana, West Africa, for an immersive, all expenses paid trip.

The 10-day excursion will take a select number of college students, young adults, and seminarians between the ages of 18 and 25 from the United States to Ghana for an experiential learning opportunity.

Applications are now open, apply here.

During the trip, Fellows will:

Build bridges with Ghanaian counterparts, as well as understand and form a deeper appreciation of the history of Ghana as the oldest independent African state.

Gain more knowledge about the Atlantic Slave Trade.

Become ambassadors for social and racial justice.

Fellows will also gain more insights about their ancestral lineage, learn about civil rights leaders who engaged in the pan-African movement, and explore how this movement plays a part in current racial and social issues within the U.S.

Spaces are limited. Interested young people are encouraged to apply by March 25, 2022.

Don’t hesitate to share this program with your networks.
