American Experience Foundation

Inspiring the next generation of hospitality leaders

The American Experience Foundation (AEF) enriches the lives of students through inspirational travel experiences and educational opportunities to cultivate the next generation of hospitality industry professionals and leaders. AEF invests in young people in our community, supporting their career and college readiness.

 

Students have opportunities to interact one-on-one with professionals who look like them, sound like them, and have stories that mirror their own. They gain a sense of confidence and belonging in places, situations, and careers that may have otherwise felt off-limits.
