How do I apply for a program??

Our staffs are thrilled that you have decided to join the thousands of other volunteers who have experienced an enriching volunteer abroad adventure with Global Crossroad since 2003.

How do I apply?

>>Book/reserve your project at least one (1) month prior to your departure date by downloading and mailing us the application form or by applying online using your credit card information. Participants requiring expedited placements may be assessed an additional fee. Applicants submitting their applications within one (1) month or less will be assessed a fee of $49.

>> Payment of the $200 non-refundable program fee deposit and completion of your application guarantees you a placement in the country your choice and in either the first or second program of your choice. More than 95 percent of our applicants are assigned to their first program choice. The program deposit is later deducted from your total program fee. Global Crossroad guarantees you a placement. If not, we will refund your $200 program deposit.

How does the application process work?

Global Crossroad follows 6 steps in completing your application process:

Step 1 >> If Global Crossroad receives any of your questions by e-mail, we reply with answers. A formal application may be attached, or you may either download an application from our website or apply directly online

Step 2 >> Complete the application form and submit it with your non-refundable $200 program deposit (check/money order/credit card in U.S. dollars). The program deposit is later deducted from the total program fee.

Step 3 >> After receiving your application and the $200 program deposit, we will notify you immediately, and your application will be sent to our in-country coordinator for processing. Please allow our local staff up to 2 weeks. During that time, we will process your application, match your interests, and determine the details of your project, arrangements for room and food, and answer any remaining questions you might have.

Step 4 >> Once you receive your placement details from Global Crossroad (or confirmation), you should begin preparing for travel by obtaining all necessary documents (passport, visa) and meeting immunization requirements.

Step 5 >> Purchase your ticket and fax a photocopy of your passport and itinerary to our office. Participants must make a full payment of the program fee at least 1-2 months prior to departure.

Step 6 >> Our in-country coordinator or representative welcomes you at the airport and your Global Crossroad volunteer adventure begins.
