What if you could travel the world… in just one day? ✈️✨

Join us for our 6th Annual Family Fun Exploration Day! A one-of-a-kind community event where you can experience cultures from around the globe right here on the Treasure Coast!

Here’s how it works:

🌍 Local businesses become different COUNTRIES
📘 Every attendee receives their own “passport”
✈️ You travel around the event collecting stamps from each country
🎉 And along the way you experience interactive activities, games, culture, and connection

It’s playful.
It’s educational.
It’s community-driven.
And yes… it’s completely FREE.

This event is designed to spark curiosity and global awareness in a way that feels exciting and accessible. Especially for families and young people. Because at The Traveling Youth, we believe exposure leads to expansion.

Every booth you visit and every sponsor who shows up helps us continue funding study abroad scholarships for underserved college and trade students right here on the Treasure Coast. Giving them the opportunity to discover who they become beyond borders.

✨ We still have room for sponsors who want to represent a country and be part of something meaningful.
✨ And we always need volunteers who believe in education, empowerment, and community impact.

📍Memorial Park - Downtown Stuart
⏰ 10am - 1pm
🗓️ March 28th, NEXT Saturday!

Our hearts are so full from last night 💙

We had the honor of hosting a Volunteer & Sponsor Appreciation Evening, and it meant the world to be able to spend time celebrating the incredible people who make The Traveling Youth possible.

To everyone who came out and allowed us the chance to simply say thank you - we are so grateful. Truly.

As a 100% volunteer-run organization, everything we do happens because of people who give their time, their energy, their resources, and their belief in this mission. From our dedicated volunteers and hardworking Board of Directors, to the sponsors and supporters who have invested in our vision over the years - we could not make the impact we do without you.

We also had the opportunity to present a special recognition award to one of our longtime sponsors -Sara Crombie from New Wave Group who has supported us since the very beginning and has collectively donated more than the cost of sending one student abroad over the past 5 years! That level of generosity is what makes life-changing opportunities possible.

Because of the support of individuals and local businesses in our community, we have now been able to send 16 students overseas through our study abroad programs. Every dollar, every volunteer hour, every partnership has played a role in that impact.

We also showcased the incredible talent of one of our past students - Kyla - who is a chef! We hired her to cater the food last night and the display was AMAZING as usual! 🤩
(Need catering? Give her a call!)

Also, huge shout out to Barista Creamery Coffee & Tea Company for allowing us to host at your delicious location 😋🍨

Our hearts are incredibly grateful! 🫶🌎

As we prepare for another exciting year ahead, it means everything to know we have the support of such an amazing community behind us.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!!

And we can’t wait to see everyone again soon as we kick off our next big event on March 28th for our Family Fun Exploration Day! 🌎

Here’s to another year of opening doors for students together. ✈️💙

This isn’t just a family event. 👇
It’s a day where our community comes together to invest in the future leaders of the Treasure Coast.

Our 6th Annual Family Fun Exploration Day helps make study abroad possible for students who may never otherwise have the opportunity to experience the world.

📍 Memorial Park – Stuart, Florida
📅 Saturday, March 28
⏰ 10 AM – 1 PM

This event is co-hosted with the City of Stuart Recreation Department and brings together hundreds of families from across our community.

When guests arrive, everyone receives a “passport.” 🌎

They travel around the park visiting sponsor booths, each representing a different country. At every booth they collect a passport stamp, learn about cultures from around the world, and connect with local businesses.

Once their passport is filled, they’re entered to win $200+ in gift cards!

This is such a fun way to encourage families to visit every booth while giving our sponsors meaningful exposure in the community.

And the truth is… none of this happens without the support of local businesses and partners who believe in expanding opportunities for young people. 💙

Every sponsor helps us continue our mission of providing scholarships and transformative international experiences that help students grow their global perspective and leadership skills.

If you believe in empowering young people and expanding their view of the world, this is a powerful way to get involved.

Comment “SPONSOR” and we’ll send you the sponsorship details!

If you couldn’t make it to The Art of Travel… you were missed 💙🌍

Last night was filled with meaningful conversation, powerful imagery, and so many beautiful moments centered around what travel really represents - growth, perspective, and connection.

Marty Pearson curated an absolutely incredible evening. Her work transported us across the globe! Travel changes you. And art has a way of bringing that feeling back to life.

We had each of our board members stand beside their favorite pieces (scroll to see 🫶)

If you weren’t able to attend but see a piece in these photos/videos that speaks to you - or if you simply want to explore more of Marty’s artwork - we encourage you to reach out to her directly. There are still pieces available!

We are deeply grateful that Marty chose The Traveling Youth as the nonprofit beneficiary for this event. A percentage of proceeds from art sales supports our mission to provide transformational study abroad experiences to local college and trade students who may not otherwise have the opportunity to see the world. 🌎

Every partnership like this helps us spread awareness.
Every conversation plants a seed.
Every purchase helps a student step beyond borders.

To everyone who came out to support - thank you.
To those cheering from afar - we appreciate you just as much.

This is how community creates opportunity. 🌎✨
