APPLY NOW

All trip participants must be 18 years or older unless accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Once you have applied for a trip with us, you will receive a response from our country director to let you know if the application was approved. You can contact him at mason@simoneskids.com

Please remember that the $50 application fee is non-refundable, but will be applied towards your trip if the application is accepted.

****Note on Passports: Generally, passports should have at least six months of validity when traveling internationally. Most countries will not permit a traveler to enter their country unless the passport is set to expire at least six months after the final day of travel. That means if your passport has less than six months remaining until the expiration date, you should renew it right away!

****Starting in 2017, we are requiring all team members to be active participants in our Scholarship Program. We emphasize our ministry partners spending time with their scholar-shipped child/children, as we believe this is very beneficial and rewarding for both the volunteers and our students.

Please contact Mason Satterfield for more information at mason@simoneskids.com
