Congratulations to the 24 students who participated in the 30th annual high school Model UN conference at UGA last month! This year’s group did great work representing the countries of Jordan and Japan in a range of UN General Assembly committees and other international organizations as well as the historical and fictional “crisis committees.” Special congrats go to this year’s award winners: Margalit Mauricio (special commendation by the Chairs of the World Trade Organization committee), Ben Warner (“Honorable Delegate” for a crisis committee set in the last days of Pompeii), Joshua Xie (“Honorable Delegate” for a crisis committee on the dismantling of the Amazon Corporation), and George McMaster (“Outstanding Delegate” for a crisis committee set in the Pixar movie universe).

Black Birthright Opportunity

Black Birthright is the journey of a lifetime for Black American high school students. In traveling to Africa, Scholars learn their hidden history, experience the Continent’s rich culture and develop a stronger sense of self and purpose. During this extraordinary journey, Black Birthright Scholars have a comprehensive experience spanning history, culture, language, food, music, dance, art, entrepreneurship and community.

Applications for our next cohort open on February 1st. There is no application fee and Scholars are only required to pay a $1500 program fee – this includes the cost of their travel to Africa and the educational programming in the school year prior to travel (!!). All other costs are covered by The Tunstall Foundation.

You can see photos and videos of our travel experiences HERE.

You can see photos of our current and alumni Scholars HERE.

You can hear directly from a Black Birthright Scholar about what the program has meant to her personal development, growth and identity formation HERE.

You can learn more about the program requirements, applicant criteria and register for an info session HERE.

Janie is an amazingly strong base and is always eager to try new skills even if it takes her out of her comfort zone. She is constantly bringing such a positive, bright attitude to practice and games and we are so lucky to have her on the team! Great job, Janie!“ –Kelsie Webb, Head Coach Varsity Cheerleading
