About Us

Welcome to Travel with Chaz, a remarkable 501C3 non-profit organization dedicated to supporting underprivileged and disadvantaged youth, aged 8-16, and their families in the vibrant metro NY area. Our primary goal is to empower these young individuals through the power of travel, while equipping them with valuable life skills through a range of educational, social, and recreational events and activities. By forging strong partnerships with parents/guardians, educators, and community resources, we strive to build a solid foundation for each child's success. Join us on this incredible journey!

Community Pride

With so many years of experience, our knowledgeable staff will never stop learning and growing. We take great pride in engaging our community by creating a team-oriented atmosphere in which to do good work. Our mission of providing young people with the tools for life in hopes of promoting positive change both in themselves and within their communities is the foundation we stand on. We are doing this by creating opportunities, activities and networks that foster exploration of new environments and enhanced skills building for our youth. It is our continued commitment to this mission that remains a vital part of our ongoing success.

As we look to the future we are optimistic about the challenges we may face and delighted by the anticipation of prospects sure to come. We are grateful to have these opportunities to respectfully share our resources with you.

Additionally, participants have had the chance to take part in Library Study programs, Parks Department events, visits to the Schomburg Center and Blacks In Wax museum, tours of the United Nations, Radio City Music Hall, Six Flags Great Adventure, and even overnight trips to the Pocono Mountains. This diverse range of experiences reflects TWC's commitment to providing a well-rounded and culturally enriching program for all those involved.
