Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

A SOCIAL IMPACT NON-PROFIT, SPACE FOR HUMANITY SERVES PURPOSE-DRIVEN LEADERS THROUGH A SPONSORED SPACEFLIGHT EXPERIENCE TO CREATE A PROFOUND SHIFT IN PERSPECTIVE, SO THAT EACH CITIZEN ASTRONAUT RETURNS WITH A GRANDER PERSPECTIVE TO ADDRESS OUR MOST INTRACTABLE CHALLENGES AND THEIR SOLUTIONS.

  • CITIZEN ASTRONAUT PROGRAM OVERVIEW SPACE FOR HUMANITY BELIEVES THAT SEEING EARTH FROM SPACE CAN CHANGE HOW PEOPLE THINK, LEAD, AND ACT. THIS POWERFUL SHIFT IN PERSPECTIVEKNOWN AS THE OVERVIEW EFFECTHAS INSPIRED ASTRONAUTS TO CREATE POSITIVE CHANGE ON EARTH. OUR GOAL IS TO MAKE THIS EXPERIENCE ACCESSIBLE TO MORE PEOPLE, SO IT CAN BENEFIT HUMANITY AND OUR PLANET. THROUGH THE WORLDS FIRST CITIZEN ASTRONAUT PROGRAM, WE SPONSOR EXCEPTIONAL LEADERS FROM AROUND THE GLOBE TO PARTICIPATE IN A SPACEFLIGHT EXPERIENCE. THE PROGRAM IS OPEN TO APPLICANTS WORLDWIDE. OUR LEADERSHIP, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, AND IMPACT (LCDI) PROGRAM PREPARES PARTICIPANTS BEFORE THEIR FLIGHT, SUPPORTS THEM AS THEY PROCESS THE EXPERIENCE, AND TRAINS THEM AFTER THEY RETURN. CITIZEN ASTRONAUTS LEARN HOW TO TURN THEIR SPACEFLIGHT PERSPECTIVE INTO MEANINGFUL COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP AND ADVOCACY ON EARTH. IN 2022, SPACE FOR HUMANITY SPONSORED TWO INDIVIDUALS WHO COMPLETED THE PROGRAM AND SUCCESSFULLY TRAVELED TO SPACE.

    Expenses $485,673

  • THE INCLUSION COUNCIL SPACE FOR HUMANITY IS DEEPLY COMMITTED TO INCLUSION ACROSS ALL OF HUMANITY. OUR INCLUSION COUNCIL BRINGS TOGETHER A DIVERSE GROUP OF LEADERS WHO HELP GUIDE EQUITABLE PRACTICES ACROSS THE ORGANIZATION, WITH A PARTICULAR FOCUS ON THE CITIZEN ASTRONAUT PROGRAM. IN 2025, WE EVOLVED THE STRUCTURE OF THE INCLUSION COUNCIL TO BE MORE ACTION-ORIENTED. EACH YEAR, COUNCIL MEMBERS WORK COLLABORATIVELY ON DEFINED PROJECTS OVER A FULL CALENDAR YEAR, PRODUCING REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS THAT DIRECTLY INFORM OUR PROGRAMS AND DECISION-MAKING. PROJECTS IN 2025 INCLUDE AN AUDIT ON RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION FOR THE CITIZEN ASTRONAUT PROGRAM AND AN INTERNAL DEI AUDIT OF OUR ORGANIZATION HELPING ENSURE OUR WORK REFLECTS BEST PRACTICES IN EQUITY, DIVERSITY, INCLUSION, AND ACCESSIBILITY. ALSO IN 2025, SPACE FOR HUMANITY SPONSORED UNIVERSAL INCLUSION, A PODCAST DEDICATED TO AMPLIFYING DIVERSE VOICES ACROSS THE SPACE SECTOR.

  • AMBASSADOR PROGRAM OVERVIEW IN 2025, SPACE FOR HUMANITY LAUNCHED THE OVERVIEW AMBASSADOR PROGRAM. OVERVIEW AMBASSADORS ARE ASTRONAUTS WHO HAVE PERSONALLY EXPERIENCED THE OVERVIEW EFFECT THROUGH THEIR OWN SPACEFLIGHT. THEY SERVE AS ADVOCATES FOR SPACE FOR HUMANITYS MISSION BY SHARING THEIR PERSPECTIVES ON SPACE TRAVEL AND THE IMPORTANCE OF EXPANDING ACCESS TO THE OVERVIEW EFFECT FOR MORE PEOPLE. OVERVIEW AMBASSADORS HELP AMPLIFY THE MESSAGE OF WHY CITIZEN ACCESS TO SPACE MATTERS AND HOW THE OVERVIEW EFFECT CAN INSPIRE POSITIVE CHANGE ON EARTH. THIS PROGRAM IS DISTINCT FROM THE CITIZEN ASTRONAUT PROGRAM. WHILE SPACE FOR HUMANITY SPONSORS AND PREPARES PARTICIPANTS FOR SPACEFLIGHT THROUGH THE CITIZEN ASTRONAUT PROGRAM, THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT COORDINATE OR SPONSOR THE SPACEFLIGHTS OF OVERVIEW AMBASSADORS. AS OF 2025, SPACE FOR HUMANITY HAS WELCOMED FOUR EXCEPTIONAL INDIVIDUALS INTO THE OVERVIEW AMBASSADOR PROGRAM.
