A three year dream is now a reality: "The Travel Academy!" A first ever back to school initiative where middle school students from East New York, Brooklyn were given the gift of travel, flying to California for an 8-day, jam packed, life-changing experience.

With the release of the Travel Academy documentary film, STATE is also kicking off a giving initiative built to further support the founding students and families this coming year - in the ways they need it most. Whether it's helping with SAT tutoring, outstanding rent and electric bills due to ongoing pandemic challenges, swim, piano and/or acting lessons, our goal is to fulfill these requests - with help from you all - as best we can... with every single penny raised going directly to our Travel Academy families.

Thank you for showing the love to these kids and families... in the ways they need it most!
