Hi there, President Obama tells us time and again that young people have the power to shape our future, and with the newest recipients of the Obama-Chesky Voyager Scholarship for Public Service, we’re excited to help 100 college juniors make their mark.  Hailing from every corner of the United States and studying subjects from computer science to the environment to social work, over the next two years these young people will embark on an immersive work-travel experience, learn from a strong network of Obama Foundation mentors, and receive financial support to ease the burden of college expenses.   Meet our newest class of Voyagers and read more about what they’re ready to accomplish: Funded by a $100 million personal contribution from Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky to the Obama Foundation, this program is a testament to our shared commitment to addressing global challenges and building bridges in communities across the world.  To see this work in action, I encourage you to check out the stories of current and past Voyagers:  Leah Whitmoyer Voyager Scholarship recipient studies food and water insecurity in the United States Read More Nick Kennedy Obama-Chesky Voyager helps preserve his Indigenous culture   Read More Liza Zaruba Obama-Chesky Voyager travels from Togo to Geneva to make a difference in health care Read More We look forward to sharing more stories as this next group of Voyagers embark on their journey! –Laura  Laura Lucas Magnuson  Executive Vice President, Global Programs  DONATE NOW
