We request payment for your DOOR trip in three installments.
Initial deposit of $75 per person is due with registration. This deposit is applied towards your overall total, even if your group size changes. ($25 per weekend)
Second, non-refundable deposit of $100 per person is due March 1 or 10 weeks before your trip, whichever is earlier.

Group Contract: You will receive a group contract after we process your registration. Please sign and return the contract to complete your registration.
Photo and Video Release: Service Learning is inherently a social, group, relational experience. It often lends itself to group pictures and a LOT of photos at that. Participation in the DOOR program, assumes permission for photography and videography for sharing, memories and promotional purposes. However, DOOR absolutely respects the wishes of our participants. Should a participant want to guard their privacy rights in this area, a simple request to the City Director or to their group leader and wishes will be honored and respected.
Cancelation Policy:
In the event that a group needs to cancel, DOOR has the following policy:
If a group cancels after their initial $75 per person deposit, the funds may be applied in their entirety to a DOOR trip this year or next.
If a group cancels after their second deposit of $100 per person, the initial deposit amount can be applied to a future trip as stated above. The second deposit is non-refundable.
If a group cancels after paying in full, the final balance is also non-refundable due to the short notice before the scheduled trip. The initial deposit may be applied as stated above.
DOOR is self-funded through participant fees. Participant fees cover speaker stipends, group meals, group lodging, group scheduling, cleaning and maintence fees, support staff, year-round city directors’ salaries, and incidental expenses related to the operation of the program. When DOOR schedules a group, city directors make arrangements with local agencies where participants will volunteer. Agencies count on DOOR participants to fulfill that commitment. Group cancelations affect agency partners and distrupts all aspects of scheduling.
