When you join the Umoja program and community, you'll be part of a 12-month international exploration that's rich in cultural immersion, professional development, and personal exploration.
Respectfully named after the Kwanzaa celebration of family, community, nationality, and race, the Umoja program travels through 4 different continents with a community of remote professionals eager to understand the world, step out of their comfort zone, and encounter one of the most memorable and formative years of their life.

The Umoja program travels through 4 continents rich with welcoming communities, long-standing traditions and history, and diverse cultures.
You'll start your journey in Europe, where you can watch summer turn to fall as you visit centuries-old historical landmarks, and indulge in culinary traditions while living in the heart of three coastal cities.
Next, you'll head down to South Africa, where you’ll celebrate a sunny New Year surrounded by striking views of mountains, beaches, and vineyards.
You'll then continue to Asia, where you’ll love experiencing spring in a region steeped in incredible culinary, cultural, historical, and entrepreneurial traditions. While you’re there, you’ll be one of the lucky few in the world to say you’ve seen the incredibly rare cherry blossoms blooming during this time of year.
Finally, you’ll finish your year enjoying a Latin American summer. Here you’ll experience an amazing mix of mountains, beaches, and metropolitan cities full of charming landscapes, aromatic coffee, parks, and foods with indigenous influences to cap off your life-changing experience!
You will be staying in comfortable private bedrooms in a mix of 2-3 bedroom apartments or houses as well as hotels. You will be in amazing neighborhoods with a mix of a local and international flavor within walking distance from the workspace. You’ll love the great location, trendy atmosphere, and access to so much to do all around you. There may be options to upgrade to a private apartment after booking.
