Too many students in and around Chicago live in communities defined by historic inequities and have their ambitions stifled by disinvestment and lack of opportunities based on race, ethnicity and other factors unrelated to their talents and aspirations.

Farther Foundation enables students to break free from these constraints and experience the wider world through educational travel. Our students become immersed in new cultures, provide community service, cultivate leadership potential and attain personal growth. Inspired by their experience, Farther Foundation alumni return home with new skills, confidence, and enthusiasm—ready to take on new challenges in school and in life.
