VOLUNTEER FEE

The volunteer fee and itinerary of each trip is something we take very seriously, and we always have our volunteers in mind. Each Yuda Venture is priced by the cost that it takes to run that trip. We negotiate with all of our international vendors to keep costs as low as possible with you in mind. The payment schedule is strict because it coincides with payments that we have to make to the local vendors in each country to make each trip happen.

How to pay for your trip:

Anyone can pay (or help pay) for your trip. Payments can be made little by little, but the balance that is due upon certain dates must be reached by that date.

Friends make donations: Friends are often excited to contribute to something so meaningful. They can make donations when you give out your personal link to donate on your behalf.

Fundraising: Many of our volunteers have gone on trips at little or no expense to themselves or their family by fundraising. Don’t let the cost stop you from joining us! See fundraising ideas here.
