Journeys of Reconciliation is an interfaith travel and learning program that explores issues of social justice and builds relationships between Emory and communities in the U.S. and around the world.
The program invites groups to encounter the world's challenges, to hear stories of change and liberation, and to seek wisdom from outside the university's walls. The goal of each trip is that participants will be transformed into more thoughtful and caring citizens of the world.
Many students who apply to go on Journeys request financial assistance, so funds go toward scholarships that make Journeys accessible to all who are interested. Journeys expenses often include flights, honoraria for local partners, ground transportation, meals, lodging, and activities.
Although COVID limited our ability to travel in recent years, OSRL recently co-sponsored a learning journey to visit the Muscogee Nation, the Native People of Georgia, on their reservation land in Oklahoma, in March 2022. In January 2023, we sponsored an interfaith journey to the Equal Justice Initiative Legacy Museum in Montgomery, Alabama for over 50 Emory community members.
We welcome your support of Journeys so that we can continue to offer such transformative experiences and scholarship aid in the future.
