About this project
This project was created by Roadtrip Nation, a career exploration nonprofit that aims to help everyone define their own roads in life.
Through our award-winning public television show, our bestselling book, and our online tools and resources, we use storytelling to help people explore and choose the path that’s best for them.
Featuring content and stories from "Paths Across Kansas"
Many of the interviews found throughout this tool were featured in our new documentary film "Paths Across Kansas," which follows five local young adults as they take a journey to explore fulfilling work right where they grew up.
