Our Cause
Imagine. Embark. Empower
Our Mission is to change the lives of students from urban settings by empowering them through travel, community service, and increased self-efficacy to realize their fullest potential as contributing citizens of the world.
Our work
Whether it is building a house for a homeless family in the United States or Central America, planting seedlings to prevent erosion in the Caribbean, painting schools and tutoring children, students and their teachers are motivated to make a difference in the world!
Quest Adventures provides grants to approved teams of students and teachers for an intensive year-long program involving fundraising, local community service and leadership development. Quest was founded to support teachers in their vision to connect students with change-makers around the world. Through service learning experiences, young people not only realize strengths within themselves but also discover the impact they can have on the world
Our Impact
Traditionally, urban youth from low income areas, like our diverse students from Boston Public Schools, face disproportionate barriers to travel and educational experiences. Quest Adventures is committed to supporting young people who may not otherwise have the opportunity to engage in experiential learning. Quest Adventures creates a new generation of leaders who will improve Boston communities.
Alumni Impact / Kirdzon Bengtson
“There are many reasons why it is important for high school students to participate in a service trip. First of all, students will find self-value.
Sometimes being part of a big school makes you feel lost and useless. On a service trip, you can see how useful and valuable you are to other people. Volunteers will see that they have the power to make a difference in another person’s life and in the world.
Second of all, students will open their minds to new realities. Just watching the news doesn’t really open your mind to the reality of what another person is going through. When you go on a service trip, you are able to not only see the reality of another person but also to feel it. And that’s when you start appreciating life and everything you have a lot more. A service trip will make you a better human being no matter what.”
