We are on a mission to provide every deserving student in Detroit with a passport before the age of 18—unlocking access to global experiences, expanding college and career pathways, and empowering the next generation of culturally aware, confident leaders.
Imagine a city where every young person holds the key to the world. We are turning that vision into reality—one passport, one student, one life transformed at a time.
Providing a passport before 18 is about more than travel—it’s about equity, access, and opportunity. It removes barriers, expands horizons, and creates life-changing experiences that prepare students to lead and succeed in a global society. Together, we can ensure Detroit students are equipped to compete, connect, and thrive on a global stage.
A passport is a powerful catalyst—but transformation happens when it is paired with intentional programming and meaningful opportunities. That is the foundation of Students Going Global: Access + Exposure + Opportunity + Support
“A passport opens the door—but access, exposure, and opportunity inspire students to walk through it.”
Our Impact
1. Promote Equity and Close Opportunity Gaps By removing a critical barrier to international access, a PASSPORT, we level the playing field for students who may not otherwise have the resources to explore the world.
2. Shift Mindsets and Broaden Perspectives Students begin to see beyond their immediate environment, developing a global mindset, cultural awareness, and the confidence to thrive anywhere.
3. Inspire Lifelong Exploration and Leadership Early global experiences encourage students to seek future opportunities, take initiative, and grow into adaptable, culturally competent leaders.
4. Build Confidence and Independence Students gain the confidence and independence to participate in more educational tours abroad or additional global education opportunities, such as study abroad programs, international internships, service-learning trips abroad, and cultural exchanges.
5. Increase College and Career Readiness Global exposure strengthens college applications, builds confidence, and prepares students for success in an increasingly interconnected workforce.
