  • Other factors will be determined on a case-by-case scenario (i.e. skills: counseling, nursing, life guard, special experiences, etc.)

  • Priority is given to those participants who are from a location that in anyway supports the host community so that relationships and sustainability are fostered and maintained between the two locations.
