Reach the World - Chicago
In select locations around the U.S., Reach the World supports networks of severely under-funded public elementary and middle schools. Through our programs, we take students on annual field trips and give them the opportunity to interact directly with our online travelers. We also provide our teachers with extensive training in how to use technology as a teaching tool, via our graduate student Interns Programs at our partner universities. RTW has been operating in New York City since 1998. Our New York program serves more than 2,000 students every year.
In 2006, Reach the World launched its first program replication in Chicago, IL. The RTW-Chicago program served more than 500 students during its first year of operation. Students in the RTW-Chicago program followed the Voyage of Aldebaran, a two-year circumnavigation aboard a 43-foot sailing vessel undertaken by a team of six volunteer travelers. For more information, contact Jake Byl, Chicago Program Manager.
