Mission

OLASTEO's mission is to create experiences that empower students to serve as catalysts for social impact. OLASTEO was founded on the idea that travel can help open and expand student perspectives and mindsets. In traveling within their home cities and to new cities (and countries), we encourage our students to experience and learn about life beyond their respective communities. The adventure of travel and being away from home is a small portion of our immersive cultural excursions. We strive, above all else, to educate our students about the lived experiences and challenges that others have faced, both those before them and those from other cultures and communities. We curate unique, immersive, and transformational cultural excursions locally, nationally, and internationally.
