Voyaj connects people from around the globe for one-on-one meaningful exchanges to foster global understanding and peace. Our mission drives us forward daily. As such, Voyaj proposes hosting a large-scale Voyaj event in San Francisco in Spring 2026 featuring Inspiration4 astronaut Chris Sembroski in conversation with students from College Track, a leading college‑completion nonprofit serving first‑generation scholars from under‑resourced communities, founded by Loraine Jobbs. https://collegetrack.org/ This Voyaj event will bring together Chris’s lived experience of spaceflight, risk, resilience, and teamwork with the stories of immigrant and first‑generation students striving for college success. By creating a dynamic dialogue between exploration in space and personal journeys of overcoming obstacles on Earth, this event will inspire students to see themselves as future leaders, problem‑solvers, and potential contributors to humanity’s exploration of the unknown.
