Partnerships
Bring Elective’s intellectually rich, immersive learning to your members, customers, or community.
Whether you're enhancing existing travel offerings or introducing something entirely new, an Elective partnership lets you offer distinctive, intellectually engaging courses designed for adults who want to learn seriously while traveling. Each program is led by an expert local instructor, follows Elective’s established model balancing structure with free time, and is built to foster serious inquiry and small-group discussion.

Partnerships work well for groups that value thoughtful travel and lifelong learning, including:
Alumni associations
Bookstores and literary organizations
Museums and cultural institutions
Lifelong learning programs
Professional or industry networks
Religious and interfaith communities
Social clubs, dinner groups, or salons
