Mission Statement
The Travelers Aid International mission is to aid people in transit who are in distress, through our direct services and through services provided by our member organizations.
About This Cause
We exist to ensure that people in transit receive assistance when and where it is needed in communities and travel hubs. The basic need has been ever present, but in our growing country and ever-changing economy, the ways to meet the need have changed. Travelers Aid International is positioned to adapt to those changes so that it is most effective in assisting the travelers of today. The Travelers Aid International network now consists of 26 social service agencies, 15 airports, seven train stations and six direct service programs in the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada and Australia. Each of these programs is locally operated and meets the social service needs of their community, with a common thread being to help return stranded individuals safely home. The programs are diverse and include work with local homeless populations and the working poor. Since World War II, Travelers Aid programs have developed at major U.S. airports, providing a “helping hand along the way” to travelers, with information, directions, and problem solving. Travelers Aid continues to have a presence at 4 North American train stations, and partners with Greyhound to provide discount travel for stranded persons. An organization with a history dating back almost 200 years is constantly evolving to meet the contemporary challenges of travelers. Although the nature of travel has changed, and many have communication tools and resources at their disposal that weren’t available years ago (e.g., smartphones and credit cards), we are a more mobile society than ever before, and travelers are still in need of Travelers Aid.
