Take Flight is our latest initiative. A non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, it was founded by twin sisters, filmmakers, and avid travelers, Rhonda and Sharee Washington, in Fall 2018.  The original mission of the initiative was to assist underserved women 21 years-old and older in the Columbia, SC area obtain their first passport so that they can travel and go on a journey of a lifetime.  However, in 2023 the Board decided to expand the mission to include men and adults 18 years and older.
