Participant Requirements:

We will be going to Petersfield, in Jamaica through the organization Amizade. (www.amizade.org) We will be leaving July 25th and coming back August 1st. It will cost $840 per person plus airfare. We will be figuring out ways to fundraise but you will also be required to pay for a certain percent of the total cost.

The cost includes:

• In country transportation
• Room and board
• All meals
• Cultural and recreational activities (trips to see ruins, etc.)

1. Airplane tickets will all be taken care of by the transportation coordinator and you will be informed of the cost as soon as we know.
2. You will be sent a revised Code of Conduct with this that we will be using for this service trip only (the normal Code of Conduct will still be used at all other NPYM Junior Friend events). Because we are going out of the country, which is a rather large undertaking, we will be requiring that you and your parents sign the Code of Conduct saying that you read and understand it and are agreeing to abide by it.           
3. You and your parent(s) or legal guardian(s) must sign the end of this application indicating that you are for sure committed to going on this service trip.
4. We are also requiring that you attach a letter of support from your Meeting (talk to your clerk about that) and another one from your parent(s) or legal guardian(s). When you request your Meeting’s letter of support you should tell them that you will be showing them a presentation with pictures when you get back (we, as a group, will be making a slide show or something of the sort that we will probably show at NPYM the following year).
5. You will also need to attach a note from your doctor saying that you have either gotten all the required shots or will have them 3 weeks before we are leaving. Your doctor will know what shots you need, it will probably be one or more of the following; tetanus- diphtheria, hepatitis A and B, typhoid, measles, and routine shots.
6. The last thing that we are requiring from you is a non-refundable down payment of $100.00. Assuming you are coming, the money will go into your cost for the trip. Your Service Trip application and all the required attachments need to be postmarked by December 31.

Each participant must also complete Amizade's electronic application and medical forms:
