Reach the World (RTW) is a unique nonprofit organization with the mission of linking students and teachers to online, global expeditions that have the power to expand learning beyond the four walls of the classroom.
Reach the World was founded by Heather Halstead and Marc Gustafson in 1997, in an effort to revolutionize the delivery of curriculum, enabling all classrooms, in all communities, to use interactive resources that bring the world’s environments and cultures vividly to life for students. RTW’s mission is to become a national organization that links travelers and their journeys with students in classrooms around the globe.
