Thousand Miles Initiative (TMI) is a non-profit organization that promotes cross-cultural exchange and global citizenship among youth. It offers a platform for youth volunteers to teach, learn, and lead through meaningful international experiences. Since 2018, TMI has organized student-led trips to China, where high school students from NC teach English and engage in cultural exchange with peers in China. Through programs like Teach-in-China, TMI empowers students to develop leadership, communication skills, and a deeper understanding of global perspectives.
