Student/Family Contributions

Student Expectations

In addition to service hours, students are expected to sign the trip expectations and code of conduct to be released in August of 2025.

Corporate Donations

Help us close the gap between student and parent donations by sending out corporate donation letters — every bit helps! If each family can reach out to five potential corporate sponsors, it could make a big difference.

Suggested Donation

Each family is encouraged to commit to a $1,000 donation per student by June 1, 2025.

Families have the option to set up recurring monthly donations in the amount of their choosing.
