One hundred percent of our Funds come from donors. Zion Travel Foundation is inspired and driven by the concern and growing need for educational travel offered to underprivileged students not only to see the world, learn history, observe other cultures and lifestyles but to enlighten their eyes, minds hearts, spirit, to improve self awareness, and to become leaders who
bring positive change for th
ose around them. The heart of Zion Travel Foundation remains the one-to-one connection made through child sponsorship. Our work began in 2003 with an effort to sponsor students who had shown an interest in geography and curiosity to see other students around the world. These journeys were funded by individuals in America who made contributions to our cause. This approach continues today.What began as a modest effort to offer educational travel to students has evolved into a 501 (c) (3) Organization. Our area of excellence and great strength is our deep knowledge of global travel destinations, understanding of children's experiences of, exclusion and vulnerability, and our dedication to placing those experiences at the center of our policy and practice. We offer travel destinations all over the world, working with companies whose focus is educational travel for students and their family members and or chaperone, regardless of race, creed or gender. Our distinctive approach focuses on working with children throughout their journey from students to young adulthood, and with local organizations and communities to create the environments children need to thrive.
