We have been blessed to receive a sizeable grant from the UMC General Commission on Religion & Race (GCORR) to subsidize the cost of the pilgrimage. The grant application states that it is for initiatives that will include “vital conversations about race, cultural diversity, and systemic equity leading to action." An expectation is that pilgrimage participants will participate in advocacy training activities before, during and after the pilgrimage. This will include attending an orientation via Zoom prior to the pilgrimage, daily discussions while on the pilgrimage, and 3 one hour Zoom sessions after the pilgrimage.
Full payment due on March 15. (Full refunds minus a $25 administrative fee are available until 3/15.)
Online Registration Coming Soon
