From excursions around Chicago to trips to Ghana, youth 9 to 23 years old are able to get out of their community for new chances to explore.
By Meha AhmadChicagoan Crystal Dyer wanted to help the young people in her Austin community be exposed to the beauty of the wide world. A travel agent herself, she knew what getting out of your environment and exploring the world could do to your perspective.
So she began a program to do just that: connect youth — many of whom may have never been on a plane before — with different countries, cultures and people.
Reset talks to Dyer about why she chooses travel to connect with young people.
