11. It is! Hold on and you’ll see.

12. Contact: “Propose a Trip” form available from www.fullercenter.org/global-builders Cool trick: www.globalbuilders.org also works Form should be submitted by the team leader and includes: Location(s) you’re interested in Open or closed team Trip dates (precise or a range. 3-24 months in advance) Estimated group size (minimum of 8 required) Information about Team Leader for our screening purposes Option to receive GB promotion materials

13. Contact: Allen Slabaugh Once country location is selected, final trip dates are confirmed with the hosting partners Global Builders staff work with you to develop a budget In Armenia, travel budget goes with Team Leader. As such, the Team Leader is very involved with Fuller Center Armenia in the process In most places, we prefer the “super simple” budgeting process: tell us how long you want to stay and we let you know the total price per person. Trip confirmation email sent with all vital details – this email records our agreed-upon details

14. Country donation Materials you use that week Local staff effort Hires local labor Trip Expenses Food Lodging In-country transportation Related expenses Home office fee Hat & t-shirt Emergency medical ins. Bank and credit card fees Shipping Advertising

15. Contact: Allen Slabaugh Leaders of open trips can increase per person cost to subsidize their trip within limits. Final cost = Base cost + Team Leader Subsidy Example: Team Leader can ask for a $100 subsidy, causing a trip with $1,000 base cost to be posted as $1,100. Advantage: enables Team Leader to make more trips Disadvantage: makes it more difficult to fill team as prices rise Amount of increase can be no more than 20% of the original price. (Ex: Trip with base cost of $1,000 cannot be priced more than $1,200.)

17. We’ll get to that. A little patience. Sheesh.

19. Contact: Stacey Goolsby Trip added to the Global Builders webpage and registration form. Each participant (including the Team Leader!) must register online: (fullercenter.org/globalbuilders) Team Leader will receive a copy of each applicant’s registration automatically when it is submitted Team leader must recruit! More on that later. Roster approval Closed teams: leader sends Stacey the roster as soon as it is ready. Stacey then immediately confirms each applicant upon their registration. Open teams: leader must contact (email or call) each applicant within 48 hours and screen them to determine if they want the applicant on their team. They must then notify the participant and Stacey of their decision. If confirmed, Stacey will send them a formal confirmation email. Open teams: as with closed teams, leader sends Stacey a list of pre- approved names, if they have in mind who might be registering.

Those failing to submit payments and waivers by the deadline will be charged late fees. We offer a 2-week grace period that ends 30 days before the trip. Team Leaders must help get participants to meet these obligations. Need current passport numbers before 45 day deadline. Waivers now able to be signed electronically! Or on paper. Link to waiver now included as part of registration process. We can also send you printable waivers that you mail to us. Printed waivers’ witness line must be completed and signed.

24. It is the team leader’s responsibility to fill the team! We help as we’re able through various activities we take to promote the program and our website, including over $30,000 in Google ads (paid for entirely by a special grant) We’ll go more in depth during the Recruiting and Fundraising session.

26. Contact: Host country and Allen or Ryan We sent 500+ people around the world last year. How can we possibly coordinate all those details?? Answer: We Can’t! The team leader plays key role as primary communicator between team and host country/GB program. Team leader must coordinate flight arrivals/departures. Must meet arrival and departure guideline by country Early or late arrival must be pre-approved

27. Team leaders help set and manage the team’s expectations – crucial! Each site’s leader communicates differently. Learn (or ask us) their favorite style: email? Phone? Skype? When writing to country hosts, copy Allen or Ryan to your emails, and keep us appraised of your discussions

32. After your trip, if you have information that would be helpful to add to the Guidebook or to this orientation, please tell us! This work rides on the shoulders of volunteers. We need you! Your trip leader should give you an evaluation. The leader can collect them, or feel free to send it to us directly.

33. “I feel changed. I don’t want to go home and act like this never happened.” “I don’t want to stop helping this community, even though I need to leave. I care about my new friends and want to do more.” Most people have feelings like these. But these goals can be super-hard to fulfill after you get home! So we created a program to help: Country Champions

34. The team leader brings a very important Country Champions post card for each person. The cards invite you to take two steps 1. Give sustainable support to the local work (monthly giving) 2. Write down one personal change you want to make because of the trip Front Back

35. The gifts will be used specifically for the work in that country. Monthly gifts provide a sustainable and predictable way to continue the progress, even when visitors are not there. The opportunity you had to visit this place of need was rare. Who else would be more likely to help this community than you? Monthly gifts of any amount help, the important thing is the total number of people participating. Start thinking about this even before you leave! You will be able to indicate what you want to do on the post card.

36. Don’t just feel changed, actually do something differently. The post card offers a chance to write down your goal and tell others (us) what you intend to do – those are two BIG steps that make it far more likely that you will follow- through on the change you want to make. Examples of personal changes are endless. Some examples include: Volunteering with a local ministry (Fuller Center or otherwise) Changing how you spend your time Altering your spending habits Simplifying your life from your stuff Helping immigrant communities in your own backyard Taking on new hobbies
