Village Visit
The program design for USM's Leadership Study Abroad in South Africa owes much of its inspiration to the students of a 2010 Leadership Study Abroad class who were particularly moved by their visit to an African village that, while low in material things, was filled with joy and plans for the future.  

In 2014, a group of African young people specially selected for their leadership potential collaborated with USM undergraduate and graduate students to launch a powerfully engaging community development project. The impact of this effort continues to this day, both in Africa and in the U.S., with new project participants joining the Montagu Project family each year.

Come with us for the 2019 program and contribute to the rich tradition of this dynamic partnership, inspiring and connecting program participants to what's possible through creative leadership and team work. 


Other plans for the program include:
