All service program fees are based on our actual costs. We offer discounts to promote service and to recognize situations where volunteers save us time and money.
Depending on your circumstances, you may qualify for one or more discounts. Please note that you may qualify for the returning volunteer and family & multi-person discounts;
however, if you take the student discount, no other discounts can be applied.
* Non Internet Processing Fee:
We prepare and communicate with our volunteers through email and the internet. If you choose NOT to receive your service program materials online, you will be charged
a $100 processing fee to help offset the additional costs of mail and manual processing. However, this fee is not assessed if you apply by phone, fax or postal mail,
and complete the balance of your preparations online.
* Returning Volunteer Discount:
We offer returning volunteers a $200 discount for international programs and a $50 discount on USA programs in recognition of continued service with Global Volunteers. Ask your volunteer coordinator for details.
* Student Discount:
Service early in life leads to life-long service. We want to promote service by students and offer a $200 discount on international programs and $50 on USA programs. Simply send us a
photocopy of your current student I.D. card and fee statement showing you are a full time student.
* Companion Discount - Family and Multi-Person
Discount: When you bring a first-time volunteer companion (paying the standard fee) on your international service program, you are eligible to receive a $200 discount for each first-time volunteer (up to $800 for four compaions) off your service program fee. (We allow $100-$400 for USA service programs). You can reduce your fee by the total discounted amount or apply it to the other members of your family or group. The returning volunteer discount, if applicable, is available to the group organizer. This discount is not available with the student discount. Additional savings are available for groups of six or more. Call 800-487-1074.
