Destination Imagination is a global nonprofit focused on education that centers students' creativity, curiosity, and ideas in how they learn. It uses a practical, project-driven approach and an adaptable creative process to guide teams as they work through open-ended challenges. In the process, students build critical thinking, teamwork, and resilience while taking ownership of the solutions they create. Through its flagship program and related initiatives, the organization places students in the driver's seat—generating ideas, making decisions, and learning from outcomes. Support comes from volunteers, educators, and a worldwide network that emphasizes innovation in education. Based in Blackwood, New Jersey, Destination Imagination is a mid-sized nonprofit operating in the education administration field; in January 2026 it named Mark Giordono as chief executive officer.
