Our Purpose
Enable
All Abroad, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, raises charitable donations to enable service driven global travel for underrepresented high school students. With our considerable knowledge of travel, heart for servitude and financial resources, our platform starts youth on the path to global citizenship. Students are able to strengthen the leadership, creativity and communication skills needed for success while positively affecting global communities.
Expose
We believe exposure is the key to growth and travel serves as a catalyst to inspire young minds. For many of our youth the world outside their communities is unknown. Our programs introduce students to cultural experiences abroad through hands on learning and service. Exposure to new environments and global perspectives helps students find the best version of themselves while developing critical life skills.
Empower
Our travel programs allow young people to be a powerful force for social good. Youth have the ability to be global change agents when given the space and opportunity to make a difference. Changing their surroundings and networks encourages collaboration, team building and reflection. Students develop leadership skills, become more self-confident and culturally aware as a result of being actively engaged in adaptive environments. These skills are ultimately used to build their own communities and inspire more youth. Fostering a sense of purpose and independence through service and travel empowers students to create sustainable habits for success in a global world.

Our Vision
Further. Faster.
Critical thinking, communication, creativity and leadership are all skills strengthened through travel. Young people who cultivate these skills have a greater chance of success throughout life in local and international communities. However, global travel opportunities for many underrepresented youth are unimaginable due to finances, little encouragement to travel and scarce resources. This lack of exposure can result in achievement gaps between these youth and their peers.
All Abroad works to break barriers by giving deserving metro Atlanta students access to opportunities for global travel while being of service in communities abroad. Our global immersions inspire stewardship, develop life skills, and instill a willingness to serve and learn from others. By nurturing a spirit of service in global settings, All Abroad ensures the likelihood that students return to their local communities equipped with methods to effect sustainable change and empower success.
