Global Leadership Adventures is excited to offer its flagship Cape Town program on the beautiful coastline of South Africa for high school student trips. Africa is beautiful and Cape Town, famous for its harbor as well as its glorious natural setting, is an ideal location to explore leadership. Against this backdrop of magnificent sites, South Africa is a dynamic nation to be experienced as a high school summer program.

South Africa views 2009 as very significant; it will mark the country's 15-year anniversary transition from Apartheid to democracy. Today, the rapid pace of change and hope for a prosperous future captivates visitors. However, the lasting affects of apartheid have continued to resonate and a time of racial categorizing and hierarchy can be seen in the racially divided areas of the city, the contrasts in poverty and wealth, as well in every other avenue of life during high school trips. Africa will change you forever.

Join GLA in Cape Town for this high school summer program. Africa is the perfect place to work with children of the townships to restore their futures after the apartheid regime. Go into orphanages, schools and community centers to positively give hope to the youth of the city. These townships are intense places to visit because the extreme levels of poverty can be incredibly shocking during high school trips; Africa is home to one room shacks, housing entire families stretch as far as the eye can see. However, within the walls of shacks you meet the warmest, most genuine people, anxious to talk with you and know your name.

The program fills up quickly, so apply now to reserve your space for our flagship high school summer programs. Africa is dynamic and thought provoking. Don't miss it.
