Nonprofit Chicago Austin Youth Travel Adventures offers youths opportunities and engaging events.
A week before a hip replacement surgery, on a February weekend, Crystal Dyer is walking up the steps of a trolley for an hourslong tour of Chicago that begins on the West Side. She sits among dozens of youths and their relatives, ready to showcase the beauty and wonder the city has to offer, starting with the Austin, Garfield Park and Lawndale areas. The youths are a mix of ages: some Girl Scouts in high school, while others are in elementary school.
The activity and tour is part of Dyer’s goal to give youths opportunities — to offer them engaging events through her agency and her nonprofit, Chicago Austin Youth Travel Adventures, or CAYTA. Given her ability to customize excursions as a travel agent, she designs tours in the same vein for young people, be it a college tour, a trade school tour, or the popular Chi-town Soul Trolley Black Restaurant & History Tour that she started last summer.
Dyer gives to the community with the help from volunteers, who Dyer refers to as her “pied pipers.” They spread the word about CAYTA, give their time to CAYTA events and raise funds for the program to make sure the activities remain free for those youths and their families to enjoy.
