ONE REVOLUTION: PROGRAM LOGISTICS

APPLICATION & ADMISSIONS:

We are currently accepting applications for One Revolution, Fall 2010. If you are interested, please download the ONE REVOLUTION information packet with application. Once the application is received LEAPNOW staff will call you for a phone interview. At our discretion, we may require an in-person interview at our California office. There is no application deadline – we accept people until the program is full – then create a waiting list. Once accepted into the program, participants receive a detailed trip preparation packet. This packet, together with a regularly-updated One Revolution web page, covers program details, transportation, gear & equipment, health & immunization info, communication during the program, climate & living conditions, college credit, detailed trip itinerary with contact info, required documents & paperwork.

Group Size: A maximum of 12 students with 2 leaders while traveling around the globe. Student:Staff ratio on the U.S. based retreats is 2:1.

AGE RANGE: Minimum age is 17 by the start date of the program. There is no upper age limit.

REQUIREMENTS: Participants must be able to attend the full program. Anyone in reasonable physical condition should be able to complete the program successfully. A vegetarian or restricted diet can be sustained throughout the program.

Health, Safety and Communication: The safety and well being of our students is our first priority. During the past 14 years, LEAPNOW has safely brought home over 1,200 students from travel all over the world. The current world situation raises questions for our students, their families and friends, and it is very important that you feel confident and secure as you embark on a program involving international study and travel. We constantly monitor the world situation through the U.S. State Department, and through a network of individual and organizational contacts in the countries we visit that function as our eyes and ears on the ground. We design and modify group travel to avoid hot spots, health risks & political trouble. Students have regular access to phone and email communication throughout the program. Group leaders carry an emergency cell phone at all times.

GROUP LEADERS: LEAPNOW group leaders are experienced both as travelers and leaders, and usually have led a LEAPYEAR group prior to leading a One Revolution group. Each group is led by two leaders to insure that individual emergencies can be given the attention needed for resolution. One Revolution starts with a retreat in the U.S. before any travel commences Â– allowing us to give very comprehensive orientation, get a good sense of each of the participants, and lay down a foundation for healthy group dynamics before leaving the country. Please note that there are short periods during the trip when participants will have limited access to medical attention. Throughout our travels, participants are provided with potable water, clear information about health risks, and in-country orientation about each new place we visit and each new activity.
