Bringing the Open Road to Education

Bringing the Open Road to Education

In 2009 Roadtrip Nation saw a strong, relevant connection with its public television series to students in the classroom. Reoccurring Themes found in the series—such as Success, Risk, Fear, and Hard Work—helped students find relevancy in what they learn in school to their aspirations in life. In order to bring these resources, insights, and inspiration from the Road to students across the country, Roadtrip Nation started a nonprofit education organization, Roadtrip Nation Education.

Through Roadtrip Nation Education’s educational curricula, students are connected to the vast Roadtrip Nation Interview Archive, which Roadtrippers have continually built since 2001. The Archive includes interviews from all types of Leaders from all over the world who live lives doing what they love.

To date, more than 35,000 students from across country engage with Roadtrip Nation to help identify their interests, make connections to mentors in their own communities, break out of their comfort zones, develop 21st century skill sets, and build roadmaps for lives that they are truly passionate about.
