Reach the World hasn't added a story.
Global literacy creates opportunities – but its absence holds students back. Join Reach the World's Road Scholar campaign to give more youth their passports to the world! Your donation will connect a college study-abroad student to a classroom of disadvantaged youth in the U.S.
Reach the World (RTW) has worked for more than fifteen years to provide all students with the knowledge and skills to be successful in an increasingly global world. RTW’s programs transform the energy of college study-abroad travelers into a teachable resource. Here's how the program works: RTW educators select a traveler to match with for a semester. Educators select travelers whose majors, background and personal interests are a close fit for their curriculums, and for their students. Then, students go on virtual journeys with their travelers via www.reachtheworld.org – and expand their worldview, skills and goals in the process.
Through the connection with Reach the World's travelers, deep seeds are planted. An "I can do this, too" spirit is born! Students come to know that college is a given; that there is funding to help them attend; and that study abroad is a worthy, exciting and achievable goal that can propel them forward for the rest of their lives.
Have you traveled? Has anyone shared their travel stories with you? Has this affected your worldview? If you can answer “Yes” to any of these questions, then you understand the mission of Reach the World. RTW invites educators to teach beyond the textbook, view their curriculums through a global lens and take students on the road!
Our Road Scholar campaign has two goals.
- First, we ask you to make a donation. Your donation will help connect a college study-abroad student to a classroom of disadvantaged youth in the U.S.! Together, we will establish a scholarship fund to help more disadvantaged schools take their students on the road.
- Second, we ask you to buy our new app, GeoGames. Backed by research from Columbia University Teachers College and funded by National Geographic, this app for young players takes geography learning into the 21st Century. Every purchase of RTW"s GeoGames supports scholarships for disadvantaged youth.
Here's how you can purchase GeoGames (for $0.99):
- Apple users, click here from your mobile device
- Android users, click here from your mobile device
Did you travel in 2014? We hope you did - and we hope you learned, and grew, from the experience. Your donation will spread the impact of travel to thousands of youth nationwide who could not afford this experience otherwise. Thanks for supporting RTW's Road Scholar campaign!
