Rise - Making Educational Travel Accessible for All
For over 20 years Andrew Selinka, the managing director of Academic Expeditions(opens in a new tab) and Discovery Expeditions, had worked in all aspects of student travel. Over the course of his experiences, he quickly saw that there are many students who do not have the ability to travel for various reasons: economic, social, or even physical. Rise Expeditions was a result of this realization – the non-profit branch of Academic and Discovery Expeditions which offers the same wonderful programs while also working with teachers, principals, and families to remove prohibitive barriers.
