Discover technology, community, and how to change the world
Why Silicon Valley?
Silicon valley is a state of mind more than a physical location. Home to technology giants like Apple, Google, and Facebook, it is not only the tech capital of the world, but also an explosion of entrepreneurial energy, community organizing, and thought leadership. Visit top universities like Stanford and Berkeley, meet pioneers of technology that are revolutionizing their industries, and go behind the scenes to discover what it actually takes to make an impact on the world. The expedition is designed to expand a participant's worldview and understand future trends. This will not only inform their own purpose and career journeys, but grow their ability as young leaders to make profit and impact in the world.
Programme Highlights
- Visits to the mothership campuses of Facebook and Google
- Student mixers and campus tours at Stanford and Berkeley University
- Get up close and personal in close-door sessions with entrepreneurs and social change-makers
- Discover the communities, social enterprises, and benefit corporations that are pioneering new models of change

What participants have said...
"I feel more compelled to volunteer now, after seeing how passionate some of the people in SF were about their social missions. Before, I just felt like the world is hopeless and there's so point trying to make a positive impact because it won't work. But now my perspective has changed, I feel motivated to make a difference in the world in my own way." - Shannen, 16

"I was most touched by the visit to the Delancey Street Foundation. On the second/third night of the trip I remember being quite skeptical about how "paying it forward" could actually help others. In Delancey Street I was exposed to the true essence of healing others to heal yourself and could see the actual fruition of the process." - Chloe, 16

Our founder personally facilitates only one trip a year for selected participants who are interested in harnessing the power of technology and community for social change. Our next trip will comprise a mixed group of student, community, corporate and civil service seekers who wish to dream bigger, love deeper, and challenge their own paradigms of the world. This trip is co-organized in partnership with our fantastic friends at Skillseed.
