This recognition reflects something that has long been important to us: supporting the communities and environments that make our learning adventures possible.
“We chose to partner with Travelife because accountability and transparency are central to our values,” said Bryn Geddes, Senior Manager of Program Sustainability. “It’s important to us that participants can trust that when they choose Road Scholar, they’re supporting travel that is thoughtful, responsible and committed to protecting both places and people.”
For us, this milestone is not a finish line, but a meaningful step forward. At Road Scholar, we believe learning and travel go hand in hand. That means not only exploring the world, but doing so thoughtfully — supporting local communities, respecting cultural heritage and continually looking for ways to improve our impact.

“This is just one step in our ongoing commitment to being lifelong learners ourselves,” said Meghan Flynn, Associate Vice President of Program Management & Strategy. “We’re excited to continue growing our understanding of sustainability and to share that knowledge with our participants. By doing so, we hope to play a meaningful role in preserving the destinations we all treasure for this generation of learners and the next.”
