ExOfficio Social and Environmental Responsibility

Traveling provides the opportunity to discover the incredible diversity of culture around the world. Connections founded between people from different places create more empathy in times of need. As world travelers, we feel strongly about giving back to the people and countries facing economic and environmental turmoil and are proud to support organizations that foster global compassion. Interacting with the world in such a way as to improve it and ourselves is a guiding principle at ExOfficio, not only in difficult times but every day, and we hope to inspire others to do the same.

  The Wilderness Classroom Organzation started with a simple idea: to show students from around the world the wonders of exploration and wilderness travel. Six years and ten expeditions later, the Wilderness Classroom is a 501(c)3 that reaches over 60,000 students around the globe. Their goal has never changed: seeking to instill a lifelong appreciation of wilderness in young people by highlighting the joy of discovery.

  A chance for a life beyond war. That's one example of how ExOfficio partner World Concern is helping transform the lives of the world's poorest people.

  

  In this photo, World Concern staff member Tracy Stover gives a woman a voucher so that she can shop for food and basic supplies for her family, all refugees from Darfur, Sudan. The people receiving vouchers on this day earned them by working in an environmental improvement project, which includes the planting of trees and improving rainwater runoff for better agricultural production. The refugees helped in this project were forced from their home villages by a violent and ruthless rebel group. Tracy and World Concern staff across the globe wear ExOfficio shirts, durable clothing that looks great, day after day, even in the world's harshest conditions.
