It’s that time of year again when we take our summer Interns to the coast to experience the Gullah Geechee community and visit our elders who are the keepers of the praise houses. Learn about our story and support our efforts to support the next generation of cultural leaders by sponsoring our summer interns on the Praise House Project’s Gullah Geechee Heritage Tour. Help us take our amazing Summer interns to some of the most significant sites of African American history and Gullah Geechee culture, including the Penn Center on St. Helena Island, the historic Mary Jenkins Praise House, Bluffton’s Heritage Center, Mitchellville Freedom Park, First African Baptist Church in Savannah, and other important landmarks of Black resilience and freedom. Your support helps cover transportation, lodging, meals, and educational programming, ensuring this transformational experience is accessible to emerging artists, scholars, and nonprofit leaders.
