ABOUT
TAKEOFF EI is a youth-development nonprofit dedicated to expanding access to opportunities through Exposure, Education, Experience, and Innovation.
We believe that young people deserve opportunities to see beyond their circumstances, develop the skills to navigate unfamiliar environments, and confidently pursue what is possible.
Travel and real-world exploration serve as the foundation of our model giving young people opportunities to apply what they've learned beyond the classroom.
Through school-based programming, mentorship, community engagement, professional development, and travel, TAKEOFF creates pathways that connect learning to real-world experiences.
Our foundation is travel. Our purpose is opportunity.
