Join an Impact Journey
A Fellowship Rooted in Service and Growth
Impact Fellows are selected to participate in Avandra Foundation’s structured, cohort-based global travel experience rooted in service, mentorship, and leadership development.
This is not a tourism opportunity; it’s an earned commitment.
Impact Fellows complete meaningful local service, prepare alongside a small cohort, and travel with experienced mentors to engage responsibly with global communities.
Each journey is designed to build perspective, responsibility, and long-term impact, both abroad and at home.
The Role of Impact Journey Participants
Impact Journey participants are expected to:
Complete 120+ hours of documented community service prior to departure
Participate in required pre-departure cohort preparation sessions
Engage respectfully and responsibly during volunteer partnerships abroad
Travel as part of a small, guided cohort
Return home with a continued commitment to local engagement
What’s Involved in an Impact Journey?
Our cohorts are intentionally small to preserve safety, depth, and meaningful connection.
Our Impact Journey participants commit to:
2–3 pre-departure cultural preparation sessions
Completion of required local volunteer service
Full participation in the Impact Journey
Post-trip reflection and continued community engagement
