Explore was founded in May of 2022 by a science educator Samantha Baker to provide direct support to teachers through the funding of field trips!

In their first year, Explore impacted almost 1,000 students (926 to be exact!). In their second year, they are on track to impact around 5,000 students!

So many schools in underserved communities cannot provide field trips as learning experiences due to limited budgets. Sometimes, it's only the cost of a bus that prevents a field trip from happening. Explore provides total funding options for admission and transportation to make more field trips happen!

Explore can provide this support to teachers thanks to the generosity of the Kansas City community! Thank you!

Explore is a 501c3 organization, EIN 88-2189825
