About Program
LeadAbroad offers two transformative experiences in Cape Town, South Africa. On both, students will walk hand-in-trunk with elephants, serve local communities in the townships, and explore the cosmopolitan city. A typical day may start with a leadership lesson or class, and end with a bucket-list adventure such as mingling with African penguins on Boulders Beach.
Our 2-week DIRECT Cape Town program is a curated travel experience that focuses on adventure, service and local culture. We combine adrenaline pumping activities with an impactful personal development curriculum.
On our 4-week LEAD Cape Town program, students will receive 6 credits in 2 different classes through Oglethorpe University. During your leadership class, you will learn about yourself as a leader and develop a toolbox to use back on campus and in your community. The civic engagement class allows you to do hands-on service and provide after school programs for students in the community.
