Where Confidence Takes Flight.

At iFLY Youth, we believe a passport is more than a travel document—it is a tool for transformation that expands a girl’s world, strengthens her confidence, and empowers her to dream bigger, lead boldly, and turn possibility into reality.

How We

Build Leaders

Our programming aims to bridge the “experience gap” many girls of color face by providing young girls from underserved schools and neighborhoods with the opportunity to build leadership skills and learn through cultural experiences that include international travel, recognizing that some of the most impactful educational experiences occur outside the classroom.

Our Impact

A map illustrating the trend of girls' birth rates from 2018 to 2026 across Latin American countries. Costa Rica shows a decrease from 10 girls in 2018 to 19 girls in 2023, with projections of 15 girls in 2022 and 2026, and a rise from 2019 to 2021. Belize has 16 girls in 2026, Panama has 13 girls in 2025, and Columbia has 8 girls in 2019.

Every iFLY journey represents months of preparation, courageous firsts, and young women discovering that the world is far more accessible than they once imagined. These numbers reflect miles traveled—but the true impact is measured in confidence, leadership, and lifelong sisterhood.

During our first meal in San Pedro, Belize, Ms. Yeshika gave everyone a challenge of ordering your food in Spanish. I completely ordered my meal in Spanish, and other times I would say simple greetings in Spanish too. I felt very accomplished and proud of myself for using the tools we used in pre-camp on our trip.
