You can make an impact!

We know the profound impact of travel – particularly interculturally-focused travel – on young people. It can literally change the course of their lives and careers. However, this kind of life-changing experience is usually outside the means of students from lower-income backgrounds.

Trees, Water, and People is partnering with the CSU Upward Bound Program with the aim of making such an opportunity possible for first-generation and low-income high school students. So why partner with Upward Bound? Upward Bound works to develop the motivation and skills of first-generation and low-income students so that they enter and succeed in higher education at rates equal to or higher than other students.

Through this partnership, TWP and Upward Bound aim to take 18-20 students on the kind of rich, challenging, interculturally- and environmentally-focused experience that only TWP Tours provides.

You can help us now by supporting our efforts to raise the remaining $5000.00 so that all of the students can join us in South Dakota for a challenging, interculturally and environmentally focused journey.
