High School Study Abroad in Dakar, Senegal

Venture from the north, in Saint-Louis, to the south, in Touba, during our journey to one of the world's most welcoming countries. Connect with inspiring artists, local youth movements, and diverse community members. The two-week summer abroad program in Senegal is for students interested in exploring an artistic craft or skill, working with Senegalese youth, and gaining exposure to complex social and environmental challenges and solutions. Young Senegalese artists, musicians, and activists are at the forefront of cultural innovation. Drawing on a rich heritage, local youth are working to envision new futures for their country and the African continent. As we traverse from the sandy shores of St. Louis to the bustling streets of Thies, we understand the many ways that youth leaders envision change for their country—and draw inspiration for how we might do so in our own communities.
