USA service programs are one week. Standard international service programs are two weeks, with a one-week option.  China, Cook Islands, Poland and Tanzania are scheduled for three weeks with one-, and two-week options. You may add one, two or more weeks to a standard Global Volunteers service program itinerary in many countries throughout the year for an additional fee of $400 – $750, depending upon the program.

Note: Most international service programs require departure from North America or Europe one or two days before the program start date.

Payments
If you are within 75 days of departure, you must submit your entire payment, plus a $35 late fee, by major credit card or check. If you are more than 75 days from departure, you may submit your non-refundable $350 deposit by check or major credit card. For ease of processing, you may authorize the final payment by credit card on your registration. Your registration cannot be completed without your deposit or full payment.
