Journey For Change
August 19, 2008 – 7:30 am
Earlier this month, a group of 30 “at risk” teenagers from New York’s underserved Bushwick neighborhood traveled to South Africa as part of a part of a program called Journey For Change. The goal of the trip, which was organized by Malaak Compton-Rock (wife of comedian Chris Rock), was to inspire these kids, many of whom have never left their neighborhood, to become global leaders who engage in creating positive change.
Each of the students was paired with a college-aged mentor who traveled with them, and will continue to work with them now that they have returned, as they uphold their one- year commitment to continue to be “Global Ambassadors” in their own neighborhoods and around the U.S.
