Atlantic City Youth Services, in partnership with Sankofa Cultural Adventures, is excited to announce a rare opportunity! This August, a group of high school youth and recent graduates residing in Atlantic City will travel to Ghana for a 12-day, all-expense paid cultural exchange trip.

This experience combines historical education, cultural immersion, leadership development, and experiential learning opportunities intended to foster global citizenship, cultural competency, academic enrichment, and personal growth. Participants will explore Ghana’s history, traditional leadership institutions, artistic traditions, environmental resources, and contemporary society through guided site visits, cultural exchanges, workshops, and structured reflection activities.
