Medical Information
We could make out a long check list of items for you to go through, but we've chosen to let you tell us about your health in your own words. Please be frank and thorough. Every year we have someone on a project who we find out has a major health condition that they didn't disclose to us. When questioned why they didn't list it on their application, they say something like, "I didn't think you'd accept me for the project if I told you." This is simply not true in most cases, and it's best for the leaders to be aware of your history so they can watch your back.

Policies & Cancellations
Your Responsibility
Service projects are cooperative endeavors. Contacts need to be accommodating of each other and supportive of group efforts. A sense of humor, an adventurous spirit and appreciation of the outdoors are good skills to bring to the project. You are responsible for selecting a project that is appropriate for your abilities, reading materials sent to you to prepare for the project, bringing appropriate equipment as advised by Wilderness Volunteers, acting courteously to other participants, adhering to our COVID-19 safety guidelines, and following "Leave No Trace" outdoor ethics as taught by the staff and agency representatives.
Please Note
You should not book nonrefundable travel until you have received confirmation of your acceptance for the project. Project leaders have the right to disqualify a participant at any time during the project if they feel the participant is incapable of continuing without jeopardizing their own or the group´s health, well-being or safety. Pets, firearms, fireworks and playing music on portable speakers are all prohibited on projects.

As a small nonprofit on a tight budget, Wilderness Volunteers cannot make exceptions to this
refund policy for any reason, including personal emergencies or weather.
We make every effort to run each project as advertised but sometimes project details (leaders,
campsites, work project, etc.) must be changed in order to run the project. Wilderness
Volunteers is not responsible for last minute project cancellations due to natural disasters (fire,
flooding, volcanic activity, etc.)
If Wilderness Volunteers is forced to cancel a project due to low sign-up, etc. we will attempt to
do so at least 30 days before the trip start date. If a project is cancelled by Wilderness
Volunteers, you will receive a full refund. Wilderness Volunteers is not responsible for airline
tickets, other tickets or payments, or any similar fee penalties that you may incur as a result of
any project cancellations or changes.
