About Us

We've been in the Youth Development space since 1919 through our predecessor organization, the State YMCA of Georgia. Through that organization, we have long organized and offered trips, programs and conferences for thousands of young people each year. However, in 2017, it all changed with the Presidential Inauguration. On that trip, we took 150 students and had several school administrators on the trip. From there, what is now known as Education Travel Solutions was born.

Who are we? We are a group of individuals who are dedicated to ensuring that students have an opportunity to experience the subject matter through student travel. It's one thing to talk about the signing of the Declaration of Independence, but it's another thing to be "in the room where it happened" as it was put in the hit Broadway Show, Hamilton!

We are here to serve you. This is, after all, YOUR trip. Certainly, because of our travel with groups, we may know of some things we can suggest to maximize the effectiveness of your trip, but we are committed to achieving your objectives for the trip.

Our approach is to think like an educator--and through the lens of educational value above all. Then we will build in the rest of the details. Our goal is to be a single solution for your school (attending parent meetings, accepting payments, leading your trip, etc.) to make your job as the trip coordinator easy.

As a nonprofit, we are committed to providing excellent value to your students at an affordable price.

It is our honor to partner with your group for student travel!

President and CEO

Our Pricing

As a nonprofit program, we understand bottom lines. We know how precious financial resources are and how to management efficiently ensuring the most return on investment. Therefore, we are able to offer your group excellent pricing.

Travel programs can be expensive for groups because they include transportation, lodging, meals, entrance fees, etc. Many tour companies do not offer all-inclusive pricing and often parents and students are surprised at the money needed while on the trip to cover meals and other items not included. Our standing pricing is all-inclusive. That means your child only needs spending money for souvenirs.

As a part of our pledge to those we serve, we offer affordable monthly payment plans and flexibility to make the experience accessible for all.

**Many school also do fundraisers to help offset the cost of student travel costs.

Our Promise

Student travel can become a highlight of an entire school year. Students are finally engaged with the content they have been learning about, participants are smiling, and all is well... That's how it should be!

Our pledge to you is...

To provide excellent service
To provide opportunities for students to experience the educational content
To provide complete support for your group (from trip planning to trip completion)
To provide affordable and flexible payment options for families
