II. Immersion Trip Preferences

Before completing your trip preferences, we invite you to consider...

Make sure to really think through what immersion trip may be calling you.
- What type of service? What population of people? Which break? Cost?
- Consider domestic trips as well as international
- Learn more about specific immersions
You may only apply to 1 trip in each group to avoid simultaneous interviewing
Your First Choice should be the first trip applied for. Try to avoid applying for trips that are due before your overall first choice. (example: Nazareth Farm=1st Choice, do not apply for Group A trips)
You may apply for trips in any or all groups after your first choice.
- Do not be discouraged if not selected for first choice. The trip finds you!
- Your application will roll over to the next group, but you must sign up for an interview.
- Completing a new application is not necessary.
Applications must be submitted by 5 p.m. on due date of earliest trip to which you are applying.

Please select the immersion trip(s) that interest you.
