Experience a new culture. Transform a community.
Our service trips are great hands-on opportunities to support our work in:
Haiti
Guatemala
The Mississippi Delta
Peru
We currently run four different trips which focus on:
Building homes and installing eco-friendly stoves and water filters (CO - construction)
Children’s programs (CH)
Primary and maternal health care (M - medical)
Dental care(D)
Service Trip Cost
$800 plus airfare
The $800 includes room and board, in-country transportation, travel health insurance, a one-day cultural excursion, as well as funds the program/project that the teams work on (does not include personal expenses).
Trips are generally 8 days to one week long. If you are interested in staying longer, please contact PID’s Trip Coordinator for further pricing details.
Pre-Trip Logistics
Payment of the $600 trip deposit and completion of the trip registration form is required at least three (3) months prior to travel. Airline tickets will not be purchased until the deposit is received. Delaying this may result in increased airfare. Dates are not guaranteed until deposits are received.
Trips are first come first serve - choose your dates early and notify trips@pidonline.org.
PID purchases team airline tickets, unless other arrangements are made.
Balance of trip cost is due one (1) month prior to departure. Airline information will be released after final payment is received.
All dates are subject to change depending on group requirements. Other dates can be arranged for groups of 10 or more people wishing to have their own team.
Please note that children ages 13-15 may travel with a parent; children ages 16-17 traveling must be accompanied by a supervising adult with the permission of the parent.
If you plan to purchase your own ticket, please talk to the trip@pidonline.org team so they can advice you of landing and departure time of the team. You will have to pay additional transportation fees to and from the airport if you do not coordinate your landing and departure with the rest of the team.
