Join Us On An Insight Trip
A MATTER Insight Trip offers unparalleled opportunities to experience firsthand the culture, people, and communities that we work in. Meet our partners, visit the projects, and spend time with the people whose lives are being impacted. We’ll take care of all the details to ensure you have the trip of a lifetime. Join us on an adventure that will leave you feeling inspired.
“Going on an Insight Trip transports you to the heart of a community to experience both its beauty and despair. It’s the best way to appreciate the context of the people and their needs that MATTER is responding to. It’s also a great way to meet the partners that will help execute plans for empowerment on a local basis.” – Jill Tabit, 2021 Insight Trip participant.
