Our Purpose

WHAT IS the third half?

the third half is an adventure soccer travel company with a social purpose. We design 7-14 day, all-inclusive trips for groups or individual travelers age 16+ who want to experience new countries and cultures while learning about Global Citizenship and making a difference. Profits from every trip are invested into local host NGOs allowing them to reach more underserved youth.
