Moment of Good

Take Flyte

The Foundation for Learning and Youth Travel Education (FLYTE) is a nonprofit organization that empowers students living in underserved communities through transformative travel experiences.

JAM Travel Plane Bye Bye Gif

FLYTE was started in 2015 by Matthew Kepnes, a New York Times bestselling travel author. His website, Nomadic Matt, is one of the most popular websites for budget travelers. Matt didn't take his first trip until he was 23 and after that life changing trip, he decided to quit his job and dedicate himself to helping others realize their travel dreams. Seeing so many students never getting to experience the transformative experience of travel like he didn't get to in his youth, he founded FLYTE. We thought it was amazing what one person can start to help other kids who normally wouldn't be able to, see the world. To donate, help out or for more information, please see below!
