AVID + Roadtrip Nation, Case Study
To really understand how The Roadtrip Nation Experience impacts students you have to hear from the students themselves. What resonated with them? Why did they connect with the program? How did it help them to define their own road in life? In this following case study video, we would like to share the experiences of a handful of students engaged in a very special program, and incredible partner, AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination). In 2008, over 1,000 AVID students engaged in the Experience, created their own local Roadtrips, and set out to discover their own paths in life. This is their story.

"The Roadtrip Nation curriculum is designed to open the window to the world for our students so they can clearly see the opportunities that await them after graduation from school," said O'Connell. "I know this program will change the lives of many young people and help make what they learn in high school more relevant and meaningful."

"When I left that interview, I really felt like I had a whole new understanding of what it takes to pursue what I love and I was completely inspired to go out and do it. I can honestly say that this whole roadtrip nation experience has changed my life. Before this experience I had no idea what path I wanted to follow in life. I hold this experience near and dear to me and wouldn't trade it for the world."
