Our youth‑led volunteer initiative aims to expand global access to UNESCO World Heritage Sites by mobilizing young volunteers to research, document, and digitally interpret cultural heritage locations. We plan to align directly with the goals of IVY 2026 by using technology as a tool for education, cultural preservation, and global accessibility.

Our volunteers will focus on collaborating with local historians and cultural heritage sights to create immersive digital tours, beginning with our home location, the Alamo and the Missions in San Antonio, Texas. These tours will be integrated into existing public platforms to ensure free, global access.
