Seward Civic & Commerce Association

World Endeavers is one of SCCA’s newest members.

World Endeavors is easy to miss.  They are located on East Franklin Ave. between 30th and 31st Avenues. Their discreet signage, however, does not do justice to what goes on behind the front doors.  The brain-child of local Seward resident Tom Peden, this business sends students and adults on afforadable trips every year to study, intern and volunteer in over 20 countries on six continents.

As someone who has been personally enlightened by an experience abroad, Tom understands the value in creating opportunities for peopel to be more than tourists in a foreign country.  A former man of the corporate world, Tom left his job in 2003 to return to his true calling and began sending people around the world from the living room of his own home.  The business grew from one program operating out of one room to now dozens of programs, changing the lives of countless individuals.
