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 internet-user, returning volunteer,
and family & multi-person discounts; however, if you take the student
discount, you can only add on the internet-user discount.
* Internet-User Discount: If you agree to send and receive materials, and communicate with us, primarily
through email and the internet, we will discount your fee by $100. Your work
online speeds and eases our processing. You can send your application and
payment via postal mail if you choose, but you must agree to receive and send
subsequent materials via the internet.
* Returning Volunteer Discount: We offer returning volunteers a $150 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 $100 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: Family and Multi-Person: If we can send more volunteers, our community partners receive more service. If you recruit people to volunteer with you, our job of finding volunteers just got easier. Consequently, for each volunteer you bring with you on an international service program, we will discount your fee by $200 up to a maximum of $800 for four first-time volunteers ($100-$400 for USA). In addition, the internet discount is available to each person in the group. The returning volunteer discount, if applicable, is available to the group organizer. The companion discount is not available with the student discount. Additional savings are available for groups of six or more. Call 800-487-1074.
