Trip of a Lifetime is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides funding for underprivileged high school students to go on summer tours of American trails. Since 2008, they have raised over $45,000 and sent five students on three to four week trips seeing sites like the Grand Canyon. Through fundraising events and donor support, selected 9th and 10th grade students who demonstrate financial need and a desire to help their community experience life-changing trips. The document shares stories from students like Maria who found motivation to volunteer after her trip, and Leslie who gained confidence from camping experiences on her tour.
