Subject: New Website + Winter Rwanda Program

Dear Joseph,

I hope this finds you and yours doing well.

Global Youth Connect is seeking applicants for our Human Rights
Program in Rwanda this Winter (December 28 - January 12). Do you know
of any young leaders interested in international human rights and
development (in the age range of 18 - 35) who might be good
candidates? Could you forward this to listservs and other networks
where these young leaders might be looking for opportunities?

To entice them to apply, we have a new website and application
system!

Please visit www.globalyouthconnect.org and click on Apply Now for
more info about our upcoming programs and to download info packets.

For those who are not familiar with our Rwanda programming quick info
is below. But please do try to check out the new site, and give us
feedback on it too! www.globalyouthconnect.org

Thanks so much for spreading the word.

Warmly,

Jesse Hawkes
Executive Director



Winter Human Rights Delegation - Rwanda

Location: Rwanda

Dates: Dec 28, 2014 - Jan 12, 2015

Level: Student/Professional (ages 18-35)

Program Tuition: $2250 (does not include airfare and some meals)

Scholarships: GYC will offer at least one $200 tuition reduction
scholarship available to participants who have already enrolled in
the program and paid their deposit.

Application Deadlines:
Early Decision Deadline: October 1
Regular Decision Deadline: October 15

During this GYC delegation, International participants from around
the world will join with Rwandan peers to explore the human rights
situation in Rwanda (and the world) and to take concrete action steps
together to support current and future efforts for human rights
protection and promotion, both in Rwanda and abroad.

Through a combination of workshops, site visits, advocacy meetings,
and volunteer service with grassroots NGOs, we will learn and act on
numerous key human rights issues in Rwanda, including but not limited
to: gender and human rights, human rights of children, LGBTI
populations, historically marginalized indigenous groups, refugees,
domestic workers, poverty reduction, public health, juvenile justice,
freedom of expression and the arts.

In advance of and during the delegation, all participants will
examine the roots of the 1994 Rwandan genocide, and see how its
legacy has impacted the country and its people, particularly Rwandan
youth, and also how the country is attempting to rebuild today.
