WESTERN EUROPE
PROGRAMS MULTI-COUNTRY
Before handing your money over to any volunteer or study abroad program, make sure you know exactly what you’re getting into. It’s a good idea to get the name of previous participants and ask them about their experience, as some programs sound much better on paper than in reality. The questions below are a good place to start:
-Will you be the only person in the program? If not, what are the other partici pants like? How old are they?
-Is room and board included? If so, what is the arrangement? Will you be expected to share a room? A bathroom? What are the meals like? Do they fit any dietary restrictions?
-Is transportation included? Are there any additional expenses?
-How much free time will you have? Will you be able to travel around the island?
-What kind of safety network is set up? Will you still be covered by your home insurance? Does the program have an emergency plan?
