Ten-plus years later, Roadtrip Nation has 55 employees and thousands of ambassadors. It is a production company, an educational content development company, a workways think tank, and a partner to major foundations and companies invested in shaping the world's workforce. Since it launched in 2001, Roadtrip Nation has been showcased in: Clinton Global Initiative, NBC Education Nation, TED-X, Google Talks, SXSW, United Nations Social Innovation Summit, and the Harvard Social Enterprise Forum.
