What is a typical day on the College Tour?
College Pay It Forward Tours are 9 days-long, with service projects in 6 cities. Buses leave from one campus and travel to 5 different cities—a different city and service project each day. The last city is the celebration city, or the Tour’s end destination. For weeks with multiple Tours, the celebration city is the first time the buses unite. It is amazing to see hundreds of young people in the same color shirt doing one massive, joint service project. A standard day includes:
- Service Project in the Morning
- Lunch with the Community Served
- Bus Travel in the Afternoon to Next City
- Potential Tourism in City
- Evening Activities and Reflection
- Spend the Night (with the exception of the celebration city which are spent in a hotel, participants sleep in gyms, community centers, churches, etc)
What is the Cost of the Tour?
The standard cost of the Tour is $450 (Note: Check with STLF leaders at your school to confirm the cost, as a few schools may have subsidized rates due to school funding). This cost includes all transportation, lodging, t-shirts, some entertainment, and some meals.
A limited portion of financial aid is available for students who can not afford the full cost of the Tour. To inquire about need-based financial aid, please contact us at Tours@stlf.net.
