HABESHA, Inc. is an environmentally-conscious organization that cultivates leadership in youth through practical experiences in cultural education, sustainable agriculture, entrepreneurship, holistic health, and technology. The Black To Our Roots program is a youth leadership and rites of passage program that promotes cultural education, media production, community service, and fundraising. This year-long program provides youth with the tools to effect positive social change in their local communities, while contributing to the unity and development of the global African community. The program culminates in a 4-week travel study to Africa during the summer in which students apply their learning to community service projects and exchange ideas with African youth.
