Guatemala: Human Rights Delegation for Young Leaders July 31 - August 20, 2005 EXTENDED DEADLINE - Now accepting applications until APRIL 1, 2005. Global Youth Connect is pleased to announce that we are currently recruiting young leaders to participate in a human rights delegation to Guatemala from July 31 - August 20, 2005. This experiential education program will take participants to Guatemala City, Antigua, and Quiche (one of the areas of Guatemala most affected by the armed conflict) to explore the range of human rights issues that are currently impacting Guatemala's development. Participants will meet with leading human rights defenders, government representatives, youth and others from local communities to learn about the political and social challenges faced by Guatemalans. We will connect with young Guatemalans in an interactive workshop designed to build cross-cultural understanding. Through hands-on service activities, participants will also have a chance to work side-by-side with Guatemalans in finding positive solutions to social and economic concerns. We invite interested young leaders to apply. We are looking for participants who are between the ages of 18-25, possess U.S. citizenship or residency, or are studying full-time at a U.S. college or university. Most importantly, applicants should wish to expand their knowledge and understanding of human rights and social justice. Spanish proficiency is required. The deadline to receive applications is April 1, 2005.
