BEYOND THE MOUNTAINS
Expanding what young people believe is possible.
MORE THAN A TRIP
Journeys creates meaningful travel and cultural experiences that broaden young people’s perspectives, inspire them to dream beyond what they know, and empower them to become engaged, compassionate leaders in their communities and the world.
We believe travel can do more than take a young person somewhere new. It can introduce them to new ideas, cultures, careers, people, and possibilities—and help them see themselves and their future differently.

WHAT IS A JOURNEY?
A Journey is more than a destination. It’s an experience designed to involve young people from the moment they begin dreaming about where they could go through what they bring home and share with others.
DREAM
Imagine where the world could take you.
EARN
Take part in making your Journey possible.
PREPARE
Learn about where you’re going and what you’ll discover.
EXPERIENCE
Step beyond the familiar and discover something new.
REFLECT
Think about what the Journey taught you.
SHARE
Tell your story and inspire others.
GIVE BACK
Use what you’ve gained to make a difference.
THE WORLD IS BIGGER THAN WHAT WE KNOW
Travel has a way of changing our perspective. A place we’ve only seen in pictures becomes real. A culture we’ve only read about becomes personal. And suddenly, the world—and our place in it—feels a little bigger.
That’s the kind of discovery we want every young person to have the opportunity to experience.
WHERE COULD A JOURNEY TAKE YOU?
A Journey can begin with a place, a passion, or simply the desire to discover something new. From outdoor adventures and historic places to art, food, science, careers, and cultures around the world, each experience can open a different door.
The destination may change. The purpose remains the same: helping young people discover more of the world—and more of what might be possible for them.
