Retreat for All, Help Repair & Get it Ready
Tax deductible
Chalet D’Espoir is the Global Leadership Retreat space and a retreat/gathering space for teams, families and community. Today, we need your help! The hurricanes have damaged Chalet D’Espoir, and we need you to help repair and build for future success and dreams!
Our girls are raising money to make the Global Leadership Retreat affordable.
So, we are asking you:
- To support the girls when they ask you to donate, so they can afford to attend the retreat.
- To come to Orlando Florida, to lend a hand by putting Hands on the space to Help do the work of repairing and getting the space ready.
- And to donate to provide the materials needed to repair and ready the space. The volunteer opportunity is during the MLK Weekend, Jan. 16th-19th. (Days meant for service)
We want to make your volunteer experience as much fun as possible, so we hope that some of you can use this as a volunteer vacation of sorts. Come to Florida with family and friends, volunteer for a day or two and then enjoy the space or maybe even go to the nearby theme parks (Lots to choose from- LEGOLAND, Universal Studios, SeaWorld and of Course Disney World.)
So, if you can’t come and help, please donate to provide what’s needed and/or connect us with resources to get this project ready.
Those who can and will volunteer please complete this form, we will connect with you regarding lodging, transportation etc.
Higher Learning U is a nonprofit based in Colorado with roots that run from Florida to Uganda and is the origin of The African American Young Ladies Summit Program (AAYLS.) We are dedicated to empowerment through leadership development, academic excellence, and personal growth. Leadership and safety are imperative to personal development; The Global Leadership Retreat is one of the spaces where we grow and nurture these skills & values. The girls spend 5 days learning, developing, and practicing skills that they then use in leading the Sista 2 Sista Day of Mentoring Conference, yes, their own conference!

All who volunteer can bring your family, team or organization back to enjoy the space for a discounted rated once it is completed.
