YBB Travel/Service Projects have enabled San Francisco Bay Area teens to experience several other cultures. Small groups of teens from various ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds have journeyed for one or two weeks to both developed and undeveloped countries. These trips feature home stays and a cooperative service project as a forum for interaction with the people and culture visited. We share what we learn through school lectures, youth presentations and development of educational materials.

Travel programs are designed for 15-17 year old California youth who live within the 415,408,510,707 and 916 area codes. Participants are asked to commit to attending several pre and post-trip meetings and to participate in fundraising activities prior to each trip. YBB can provide some financial support, based on need, for lower income youth to participate.
