Don t miss this opportunity to be considered for a fun and educational trip. Past recipients have included school groups, scout troops, and youth service corps to list just a few. It has been a joyous journey from the first ideas that lit up my mind to the reflective soothing boat ride home evaluated a leader from one of last year s trips. Environmental assessment, intercultural education, career exploration, and community development are just some of the program focus areas of past recipients. A key element to all successful grant programs is to make the host hostel a significant component of the learning experience.
Hostels are fun, comfortable, safe, and environmentally friendly overnight accommodations.
They provide an atmosphere for building community, exchanging ideas and making new friends. American Youth Hostels is a nonprofit educational travel organization established in 1934. HI-AYH is a member of Hostelling International a worldwide organization encompassing over 4,500 hostels in 75 countries along with budget travel program centers.
