A 501(c)3 nonprofit focused on creating a world where every student has the opportunity to travel abroad.

About us

We are creating a “world where every student has the ability to travel,” through our four key programs to increase equity and inclusion and travel for students. The TRAVEL@HOME EXPERIENCE brings travel to the homes of students through Virtual Reality technology and a customized curriculum allowing children to learn, see, and interact with the world. The PASSPORT PARTNER PROGRAM allows individual and corporate donors to directly impact a student studying abroad by committing to adopt one or more passports. Our TOO FLY FUNDRAISER develops creative fundraisers (in-person or virtual) nationwide, raising funds to support our foundation and support our next generation of global leaders. The FLIGHT ACADEMY is a cultural immersion experience hosted at middle and high schools that introduces travel to students through the five senses, showing young people that there is a bigger world to explore.

    $7,000 of our $15,000 Summer Campaign Raised 🥳🥳✈️✈️ This August 2024, Too Fly Foundation turns 8. 8 years ago, some millennials in Dallas, TX decided to create a fundraiser. It was created out of love, it was created out of joy and it was created out of the silly idea that if we can just help students get passports, maybe they’d be inspired to see and change the world. Fast forward and the Too Fly Foundation has helped over 300 students nationwide from underrepresented and underresourced communities study abroad and has created in-person outreaches that’s reached over 1,000 students. Along the way we made friends and supporters in different cities and different countries. We also have collected some titles and trophies that will make you “ooh” and “ahh”. But that’s not why we do this. These faces, is what is about. This is not just about travel. This is about taking up space, when the world says you don’t belong. This is about opening hearts and minds to new ideas and solutions. This is about generational empowerment. There’s a lot going on in this world. I can’t deny when we look around that things are heavy and appear hopeless. But this work…is inspiring work. It’s impactful work. Thank you for joining us in this forever journey of changing the lives of young people through the gift of travel. ✈️ Give to our Summer Campaign and help us pass the torch of possibilities and experiences. ✈️✈️ MAKE AN IMPACT HERE: https://lnkd.in/gV-GX4h7

Through our summer campaign, we are aiming to raise $15,000 to further our mission of providing passports, travel grants, and educational experiences to students in underrepresented & underserved communities. Help us, help students! Join us as we "pass the torch " of travel. Due to your generous donations, students' lives have been changed forever!

    On Friday, April 19, the Too Fly Foundation hosted its staple outreach at DeKalb Preparatory Academy, Inc.. Over 50 students flooded into the school’s gym to experience the Too Fly Flight Academy. Flight Academy is a high-energy pep rally style outreach that sparks the idea of travel and the excitement of exploration in students who may not have access to travel opportunities. The first step to getting students to travel is planting a seed of global curiosity. At Flight Academy, students experienced a Q&A session with a commercial pilot, created their own dream travel activity, got a little competitive in travel tips & etiquette trivia and spoke one-on-one with the Too Fly team and Spelman College about the importance and opportunities of travel for young people. The Too Fly Foundation is a nonprofit that helps underrepresented and under-resourced students study and travel abroad. Since 2016, Too Fly has helped over 300 students nationwide see the world.     CEA CAPA was proud to sponsor this Atlanta Flight Academy! We're also incredibly proud to include Too Fly Foundation's Executive Director, Bola Ibidapo, Esq., among our amazing alumni. Too Fly Foundation initiatives expand study abroad access and "bridge the gaps between travel, education, and technology for students of color".   To learn more about the Too Fly Foundation and their mission, visit https://lnkd.in/gr_4Kg7m.   #TooFlyFoundation #StudyAbroad #CEACAPAabroad
