Join a Trip

One of the best ways to contribute to a cause is to share your time and talents.  Join the next Hope Alliance medical, vision, health education or construction trip, and help transform critical need into Sustainable change. 


Who can go?

Individuals 18 years and older may apply to join a relief expedition.  Younger people may attend if accompanied by a parent or, in special cases, with appropriate release forms and insurance coverage. We have taken volunteers as young as 14 years old.
We welcome people of all skill sets who have an enthusiasm for helping others. While our main focus is medical and construction relief work, the skills of expedition participants determine much of what gets done.

How do I sign up? 

  1. Print and fill out our 2009/2010 application form.
  2. After you have determined which project you would like to participate in, mail your application with a deposit of $350. We will accept late registration if space is available.
  3. The $350 deposit is non-transferable and non-refundable.  We purchase tickets based on deposits received. 
  4. We will contact you with information regarding the pre-trip meetings.

Cost and Arrangements

The cost includes travel, lodging, meals, transportation, tips, taxes and fees. Individual trip prices vary. A $350 nonrefundable, nontransferable deposit is due with your application. Half of the total trip cost is due 75 days prior to departure, and the balance is due 55 days prior to departure. Any payments after that time will be charged a late fee of $100. We will handle all arrangements and logistics; you are responsible for obtaining a passport and any necessary travel vaccines.  Because of the increased difficulty of obtaining passports in a timely manner, we ask that you have your passport expedited.  Passport numbers are required to arrange In-Country travel, we need a copy of your passport at least 30 days prior to the expedition.  Please contact us if you need more information. 

If you live outside the Wasatch area, we can arrange the travel connections that you need to join us. Please give appropriate notice if you would like us to do this.
