Get Involved
1) Go on a trip!
Trip selection begins mid-September. Applications will be available in the Landis Outreach Center. Teams are formed based upon a balance among class, gender, volunteer experience and extracurricular activities. All team members are required to attend general ASB and team meetings. Specific guidelines are developed within each team to address issues such as fundraising distribution and attendance. However, each participant is required to contribute to the overall experience by assuming one or more of the following responsibilities: team leader, fundraising extraordinaire, scribe, team builder, reflector, service guru, health nut, or educational and cultural guru.
2) Be a Faculty/Staff participant!
Each ASB trip has one to two faculty/staff participants. Faculty/staff participants are recruited based upon suggestions from student participant applications, past faculty/staff participants and the ASB Executive Board advisors. Faculty/staff are required to submit an application and are expected to be just another trip participant. All team members share responsibility for trip preparation, education, fund raising and organization. Faculty/Staff participants also serve as a Lafayette College representative in case of an emergency.
3) Donate!
Participants are responsible for all costs associated with their trips. Budgets are developed in the fall covering transportation, food, housing and any agency fees. Participants attempt to fundraise all trip costs through numerous fundraising projects. In the event all trip expenses are not fundraised, participants pay for remaining expenses. Therefore, any nominal financial contribution makes a huge difference.
