Journey Through Our Heritage

Welcome to Journey Through Our Heritage

JTOH is one of the nation’s most innovative and unique multi-cultural educational programs sponsored by Metropolitan State University of Denver (MSU Denver) Department of Chicano/Chicana Studies and Department of African/African American Studies. The Journey partners MSU Denver students with local high school students and engages them in a year long program that enhances current public school curriculum in the areas of African/African American, Native American, Chicana/o, Mexicana/o, Mexican-American, Red Bones, Métis, and Latina/o studies. The grand finale of the year long endeavor is an academic “knowledge bowl” between participating high school teams.

The Journey also participates in numerous community events and works with the Mauricio Saravia School of the Arts year round.
