Updated Terms & Conditions

Let’s reunite the world: Your investment in this trip is an investment in the students, teachers, workers and entrepreneurs that shape our host communities, as well as an investment in yourself and your ability to positively shape our world. Now more than ever, your investment in these communities truly matters. Local economies around the world have been hit hard by the sudden disappearance of tourism, but, together, we have the opportunity to help reignite tourism and reunite our world.

We’re offering our volunteers a 110% travel credit valid for use towards any of our trips anywhere in the world. To reschedule your trip and receive a 110% lifetime travel credit, simply register for a new trip in your Volunteer Profile and email us to transfer your payment to your new trip dates.

Due to the widespread Pandemic, we updated our terms and conditions below that went into effect on November 12, 2020 for international trips and November 25, 2020 for domestic trips (WILD).

Updated Terms & Conditions: COVID-19 Postponed Trips

• Receive a 110% travel credit: Receive a travel credit equal to 110% of the amount you have already paid towards your trip through November 12, 2020. These lifetime travel credits can be used on your rescheduled trip or any future trip with GIVE. If you would like to maximize this benefit, continue to make additional payments from now through November 12, 2020 and receive 110% travel credit on your entire balance.
• Free and unlimited trip changes: We are now waiving our transfer fees and giving you the flexibility to change your trip dates and/or location as many times as you need, free of charge, up until 70 days prior to your trip start date.
• Transfer to friends, family or GIVE’s nonprofit: You can now transfer your travel credits to friends and family who have not previously registered for a GIVE trip, or choose to donate the dollar amount of your travel credits to the GIVE Foundation’s COVID Relief Fundraiser.
• Stay locked into our current pricing: Prices for each trip will be increasing by approximately $200-$400 by November 12, 2020 due to the expanded COVID-19 safety precautions we’ll be implementing on our trips. If you choose to rebook, you will stay locked into our current prices. However, if you request a refund now, you’re subject to our new prices when you sign up in the future.
• Keep your spot secured: Most of the volunteers whose trips were postponed due to COVID-19 have already rebooked onto one of our scheduled trips in 2021-22. Therefore, we already have limited spaces available on our future trips and remaining spots will fill up quickly. By rebooking on a future trip as soon as possible, you can make sure to travel on your preferred dates to your preferred destination.
  • Travel credit cannot be refunded for cash value or combined with any other future discount. Travel credit can only be transfered or gifted to a family member or friend one time. Travel credit value will be void if any refund amount is issued. Travel Credit is applicable to travelers who’s trip was canceled by GIVE due to force majeure or unavoidable event, such as a pandemic or natural disaster.
  • After 70 days, our Trip Cancelation and Refund Policy on our Terms and Conditions is applicable (here)
  • Trip payments can only be transferred one time.
  • If a refund is issued, traveler is no longer locked into 2020 pricing. Refunds will be issued at the end of the scheduled program term.
