Hi, My name is Tocorro Harris, Founder and Executive Director at TVTYO. Timeless Vacation Travels Youth Organization began with a simple conversation between a mother and daughter during a 7-day cruise — a conversation that would eventually inspire a movement. During that trip, my daughter shared something that changed everything. She explained that she didn’t realize until high school that not every child gets to travel. Not every child experiences museums, college campuses, NFL games, cultural experiences, or even trips outside of their own city. Exposure had quietly shaped her confidence, her mindset, and her expectations for her future.

That realization sparked one important question: What if more children were shown the world? When we returned home, Timeless Vacation Travels Youth Organization (TVTYO) was born.

​

Today, our organization brings together youth from different economic backgrounds and creates life-changing experiences through:

• Educational travel

• Mentorship

• Leadership development

• Community service

• Cultural exposure

Some youth enter our program having never left their neighborhood. Others enter having traveled extensively. But inside our organization, barriers disappear. The privileged are humbled through service. The underexposed are elevated through opportunity. And together, they build empathy, confidence, leadership, and vision for their future. We believe when you show young people a bigger world, they begin to imagine a bigger future. That is why we are raising funds for a 15-passenger Sprinter van with luggage space. Transportation is one of the biggest barriers preventing youth from accessing opportunities.

​

A reliable van would allow us to safely transport youth to:

• College tours

• Museums

• Leadership conferences

• Community service projects

• Summer camps

• Cultural experiences

• Educational trips

• Mentorship activities

• Out-of-state travel opportunities

This van is bigger than transportation. It represents access. It represents opportunity. It represents safety. It represents exposure. It represents hope. Our dream is to wrap this van with our organization’s branding and create sponsorship opportunities for businesses and community partners who want to invest in the future of our youth. Every sponsor logo placed on this van becomes a visible reminder that our community believes in our children. No donation is too small. Every mile driven in this van will carry young people toward experiences that can change the direction of their lives forever. Thank you for believing in our youth, our mission, and the future we are building together.

Our motto says it best: “Show Us the World & We’ll Stay Away from the Streets.”
