Frequently Asked Questions

Answer: 

If it becomes necessary for a team member to cancel their participation in an upcoming trip, funds will not be refunded but will be rolled over to a future team at the request of the team member.  This will not be done if the team member is just short of funds. They must show proof of a medical need or have a death in the family.  Harvesters can get a year extension on plane tickets with a medical note but not on a death in the family. Any airline penalty would be deducted from team contributions received to date as would any non-refundable housing reservations.
