About 360 Plus

Breaking Down Barriers, Building Up Leaders

The world is more connected than ever before—but not everyone has equal access to explore it.

360Plus was founded on a radical idea: that the zip code you’re born into shouldn’t determine the size of your dreams or the scope of your impact. We believe that when young people from underrepresented communities experience different cultures, engage with global issues firsthand, and see possibilities beyond their immediate surroundings, something powerful happens. They don’t just broaden their horizons—they shatter the ceilings that were placed above them.

We started by asking a simple question: What would happen if the students with the least access to global opportunities received the most support to seize them?

The answer has been nothing short of transformative. 

Today, 360Plus is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to democratizing global citizenship through three interconnected pathways: transformative travel experiences, technology access and digital literacy, and comprehensive education support. We work with high-potential students from underrepresented backgrounds—students who have drive, curiosity, and determination, but lack the resources and opportunities their potential deserves.

 

 

The Challenge We Address

Educational Inequity is Global Inequity. In America today, opportunity remains deeply
segregated by socioeconomic status. Students from low-income backgrounds are:

  • 7 times less likely to travel internationally before college
  • 3 times less likely to have access to technology at home
  • Significantly less likely to have mentors in professional fields
  • Often concentrated in schools with fewer resources for global education

This isn’t just unfair—it’s unsustainable. The challenges facing our world require diverse
perspectives, innovative thinking, and leaders who understand complexity.

We can’t afford to leave brilliant minds on the sidelines because they started the race behind.

Our Solution

Investment, Not Charity: We don’t view our students as recipients of charity—we view them as investments in our collective future. Our comprehensive approach includes:

Experiential Learning

International and domestic travel programs that transform abstract concepts into lived experiences.

Technology Access

Laptops, internet access, and digital literacy training that opens doors to learning and opportunity.

Academic Support

Test prep, tutoring, college counseling, and scholarship assistance that levels the playing field.

Leadership Development

Workshops, mentorship, and real-world projects that build confidence and competence.

Community Building

A lifelong network of peers, mentors, and supporters who believe in collective success.
