ABOUT ROADTRIPNATION.ORG
In 2001, three friends who were trying to figure out what do with their lives, decided to hit the road in a Green RV to interview a diverse set of Leaders from across the country and learn the steps they took to get where they are today. After listening to their inspiring stories, the three friends felt compelled to share these insights with other students seeking to define their own roads in life. That first Roadtrip then sparked an annual documentary TV series on public television (which now reaches 80 million households), three books, 350 college partnerships, and in 2009, RoadtripNation.org, an education organization with curricula focused on helping high school students explore pathways and possibilities for their future.
