About our Mission
Our mission is two-fold: First, we work with local community leaders to build schools and promote educational opportunities where they are desperately needed. Learning is every child’s right. When children attend school, they have a greater chance to live more productive and purposeful lives. Second, we facilitate travel opportunities for volunteers. These volunteers come to our schools to contribute their time and talent. They come to bear witness to the hardships and struggles of children worldwide. They come to connect, and to discover that making a difference can be easier and more impactful than you think. Our mission is hands-on, and inspires hope.

Our Trips
Trips to Kenya, and now Puerto Rico, are a dynamic and essential part of our mission. These intensive experiences provide volunteers the chance to learn about another culture as well as the complex realities of global poverty in another corner of the world. Trips are also about relationships and physical engagement. Everyone is somehow changed, and the world is better for it.
Since our incorporation in 2009, Crossing Thresholds has been leading trips AND has traveled with more than 500 trip participants. Safety is of the utmost importance, and we are painstaking about every detail pertaining to the security and well-being of our volunteers. |
