students, the organization strives to create a
world where travel is accepted as an
important part of education and people are
brought together through a shared sense of
humanity. Through its many programs, students
have the opportunity to learn about their role
within the world and recognize that they have
the ability to create change.

programs, Rustic Pathways develops various
projects that focus on community needs in
partnership with various community
organizations. Volunteers with the
organization are awarded community
service hours based on how much time
they spend with the various programs. The
service programs maintained by Rustic
Pathways focus on five main areas:
education, infrastructure, environment,
community health, and economic
development.
