What does it cost?
UNION participant with locals.

UNION volunteers are responsible for covering their own costs. The program costs varies from year to year, and depends on the destination country. A total participant cost, which ranges between $3,000 and $4,500, is established for each trip several months in advance of departure. Most volunteers meet this target through fundraising. The total cost is all-inclusive, allowing HOPE to cover all preparation, travel and living expenses. A portion of participant contributions also go towards the cost of the summer community development project. HOPE issues tax-deductible receipts for all UNION contributions.
