Travel can be a transformative experience that helps you learn about yourself and the world, pushing you out of your comfort zone and fostering personal growth.
One of the best times to have a transformational travel experience is during a gap year, in this case, between high school and college.
Erin Lewellen, CEO of Tilting Futures shares her life-changing trip to South Africa at the age of 22, where she volunteered with survivors of domestic violence. This experience deepened her understanding of global challenges, fostered humility and courage.
Through her work with Tilting Futures, learn how stepping outside the classroom can be one of the most powerful ways to shape the future.
Whether you're a young person exploring your purpose, or looking to inspire the next generation, this conversation is packed with insights on the power of experiential learning, the importance of social impact, and the incredible opportunities that await when you embrace the unknown.
