Student Youth Travel - SYTA Youth Foundation

Please accept our sincere gratitude for your generosity in helping sponsor one of our students to attend the recent 6th grade trip to Washington, D.C. Your gift made it possible for a 6th grader to experience learning first-hand about our country's capitol along with their classmates. Not only was this trip a culminating experience, but provided our students a springboard to continue their educational experience in high school and beyond. Thank you again for your program and partnering with us to ensure no child is left behind!

Enriching the lives of students one mile at a time!

Formed in 2000, the SYTA Youth Foundation is the 501C3 Philanthropic sister organization of the Student Youth Travel Association (SYTA). The SYTA Youth Foundation provides students/youth financial resources, and programming through travel experiences that impact the lives of tomorrow's global citizens.

The purpose of the Foundation is to design and implement programs that "Give Something Back" to student and youth travelers. As a non-profit organization, the Foundation depends almost entirely upon outside contributions for our programs and services.

SYF offers four scholarship/grant programs including:

National Youth Day Out

The National Youth Day Out program provides a one-day travel experience for deserving classes around the United States and Canada. SYF, in partnership with the National Middle School Association and the Student & Youth Travel Association, plan to provide 25 classes a one-day travel experience in October 2011 in honor of the Month of the Young Adolescent.
