Top 5 Benefits of Her Journey Home

  • Heritage & Identity – Connect with Ghana and explore diverse Black cultures.

Our Project Plan

Her Journey Home is a year-long, culturally grounded program for (8th grade) middle school and high school girls (9th–12th grade), highly recommended by Camp Diva participants but open to new Girls For A Change (GFAC) participants. The program culminates in a transformational 10-day journey to Ghana in 2026.

Rooted in the wisdom of the Sankofa bird—the belief in looking back to move forward this Girl Action Team provides a life-changing opportunity to explore identity, resilience, and global Black girlhood through workshops, storytelling, service, and cultural immersion.

With only 10 participants selected, the program is designed to be an intimate and intentional experience. Chaperones, alumnae , and a film crew will join the trip, documenting the brilliance, freedom, and possibilities of Black girls traveling the world.

Ghana Trip – Program Cost & Participant Contribution

The total cost of the Her Journey Home: Ghana Experience is approximately $6,500 per participant. Thanks to the generous support of sponsors, grants, and individual donors, Girls For A Change (GFAC) will cover more than half of this cost.
Each participant is responsible for a $2,000 program fee, which may be:
  • Paid in installments over time, or
  • Raised through a “give and/or get” fundraising commitment.
GFAC will provide hands-on support, tools, and resources to help every participant reach her financial goal and fully participate in this transformational experience.
