We encourage each Step applicant to meet a specific financial target for their time away. This amount is a contribution towards the cost of running the Step programme and your participation in it. We do not want the personal financial contribution to be a stumbling block for anyone keen to serve in Latin America; therefore we look to support those who may find it genuinely difficult to meet this target.

- Country specific training and materials
- Food and accommodation
- Health clearance and medical advice
- Project setup and supervision

What’s not covered?
- Return flights
- Vaccinations – some of them cost money
- Pre-departure UK travel – We usually book flights from London so you all fly out together as a team.
- Personal spending money
About Orientation
We think it is of utmost importance to prepare our volunteers well and so hold a compulsory Orientation for all those wishing to take part in Step. It is a residential Orientation weekend (Friday-Sunday) so food and accommodation will be provided and the cost covered by your contribution target – all you need to do is get there!
Orientation Date: TBC
Looking to go for longer?
We also run Spring Step teams from March-July. Teams go for a total of 16 weeks with an option to travel after – perfect for those on a Gap Year!
