Friend–right now, 100 college students are traveling the world and connecting with new communities as a part of the Obama-Chesky Scholarship for Public Service.
Each Voyager has designed their immersive work travel experience to help them deepen their understanding of their chosen field and give them a glimpse of what their career in public service could look like after they graduate.
