What We Do

Travelers Aid International is an international network of 26 social service agencies, 15 airports, seven train stations and six direct service programs, organized to address the critical needs of individuals, frequently in crisis situations, by extending “A Helping Hand Along the Way.”

How We Do It

Through our network, nearly 5,000 Travelers Aid volunteers and professional staff members assist more than 29 million individuals, including travelers, veterans, seniors, children and the homeless, to get from a position of instability to one of stability.

Our Mission and Vision

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.
