Founder's Message

Welcome to Steven's Wings: Global Youth Adventures,

As a young girl, I was blessed with the opportunity to travel the world. These experiences, supported by my school, church, and family, were more than just trips; they were a series of life-changing adventures that opened my eyes to the wonders of our planet and the diverse cultures that enrich it. Through each journey, I gained invaluable perspectives that shaped not only who I am but also my understanding of what is possible.

Traveling taught me about the beauty of diversity, the power of empathy, and the importance of dreaming big. It's these lessons that have contributed to every success and accolade I've achieved in life. Yet, I know that such opportunities are not available to every child. Many young minds remain confined to their immediate surroundings, not by choice, but by circumstances beyond their control.

This is why I founded Steven's Wings: Global Youth Adventures. Our mission is to provide underprivileged youths with the same opportunities that I was fortunate enough to have. I believe every child deserves the chance to explore, learn, and grow beyond the boundaries of their neighborhood. We aim to empower them to succeed, to dream bigger, and to see the world in its infinite possibilities.

The foundation is named in honor of my beloved brother Steven, who we lost to pancreatic cancer in 2017. Steven was not just my brother; he was my mentor, my supporter, and my guiding light. He believed in the power of hard work and seizing every opportunity that came our way. This foundation is a tribute to his spirit and his unwavering belief in me.

Join us in this journey to transform lives through travel. Together, we can give wings to the dreams of our youth and inspire the next generation of global citizens.

With heartfelt thanks,

Erica Wright
