Beginning in the 1880s, spurred in part by organizations like the YWCA, Travelers Aid programs were formed in major U.S. cities specifically to provide protection for women and girls who traveled alone.
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.
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.
