For every Trail Blazers Dunk during the 2023-2024 season, Alaska Airlines donated twenty-five hundred mileage plan miles to Wonderfolk, providing leadership development opportunities to lower-income and BIPOC youth through service-based travel and local community engagement. This will directly support our Global Leadership pillar and get our next cohort of students to Costa Rica!

Wonderfolk believes in unlimited opportunity for youth, with social justice at the heart of what we do. We champion youth who want to define their own life. 

We are a Portland-based nonprofit that provides youth-leadership development opportunities for BIPOC and youth from low-income backgrounds that wouldn’t have access to these resources otherwise. We do this by providing full scholarships to send youth around the world to participate in experiential learning, then bringing their impact home through youth-driven community engagement projects.

Our model pairs individualized mentorship, community-building and strengths-based reflection to support students in harnessing the strength of their perspective and value of their lived experience. We offer a wide array of opportunities so their students learn to thrive in a diversity of spaces!

Help empower the next generation of global changemakers.
