Guiding Principle:  Airline Ambassadors leverages contacts with the airline industry to offer volunteer opportunities and provide an outlet for volunteers to express their fundamental

generosity, selflessness and compassion.

 

Vision

Our vision is to amplify avenues of kindness and compassion through travel

and bring long-term benefit to children and families in the developing world.   By providing opportunities for travelers to become a living link matching resource to need, we increase sharing understanding and goodwill between peoples and cultures.  Our goal is to substantively improve the lives of those in need and provide opportunities for ordinary people to be of extraordinary service to one another.
