Empowering the Next Generation Through Global Exploration
Our Mission
At Steven's Wings: Global Youth Adventures, we believe that travel is more than just an experience; it's a vital pathway to understanding, growth, and empowerment. Founded by Erica Wright, our mission is to open the world to underprivileged youth, providing them with unique opportunities to explore diverse cultures, gain new perspectives, and discover the vast potential beyond their own neighborhoods.
In memory of Steven, Erica’s brother, a beacon of support and inspiration, we are committed to fostering a sense of adventure, curiosity, and ambition in young minds. Our goal is not only to facilitate global travel experiences but also to nurture future leaders, thinkers, and changemakers who will contribute positively to our world.
Through our programs, we strive to break down financial and social barriers to travel, ensuring that the transformative power of global exploration is accessible to all. We are committed to creating a more connected, understanding, and compassionate generation, one adventure at a time.
Steven's Cultural Compass Program
"Navigating Beyond Borders"
The Steven's Cultural Compass Program is our commitment to underprivileged students, working closely with schools to broaden their horizons. We focus on everything from travel etiquette to deep cultural immersion experiences, including scholarship funding. Our mission is to reveal to young minds the vast world awaiting them. We welcome culturally diverse businesses and educators passionate about sharing the love of travel and culture. Join us in shaping the global citizens of tomorrow!
Passport to Discovery
"Your Ticket to the World"
Our Passport to Discovery initiative is a cornerstone of our mission, aimed at empowering youth aged 14-25 in the Philadelphia area and beyond. We provide essential resources like passports and travel grants, opening doors to global opportunities. This program is a stepping stone for aspiring adventurers, ensuring financial barriers don't hinder the journey of discovery.
Journeys of Generosity
"Travel, Celebrate, and Give Back"
Journey of Generosity is where fun and philanthropy meet. We organize engaging events - from happy hours to brunches and day parties - turning every celebration into a chance to support future global leaders. Every dollar raised goes directly to empowering young minds with the gift of travel. Whether you’re looking to host a fundraiser, partner with us, or contribute in-kind donations, your involvement makes a world of difference.
Steven's Global Explorer Program
"A Week of Wonders"
Steven's Global Explorer Program offers a select group of youths an extraordinary opportunity: a 7-day, all-expenses-paid immersion into the history, culture, and traditions of a new country. This intensive experience is designed to deepen understanding, foster empathy, and ignite a lifelong passion for exploration. It's more than a trip; it's a journey into the heart of a nation, shaping the worldview of tomorrow's leaders.
