Payment Terms & How to Apply

To book your ethical elephant family volunteer programme in Cambodia, one adult will need to fill out the application form on behalf of the whole family under APPLY NOW – please provide full names and DOBs for the other family members in the motivation letter section.  You will be directed to our Elephant programme in Cambodia application form – so please only select your family dates and proceed.

The payment is split into a downpayment which secures your family booking and the balance payment which is due 2 months before arrival.  We are also happy to arrange payment plans if need be – please enquire.

Downpayment to secure your family booking:
The downpayment to book your family depends on adult/child numbers –  please email here victoria.mcneil@workingabroad.com and we can confirm downpayment for different family configurations and send you the secure payment link to secure your family booking.

If for some reason, your family application is not accepted/or if we are fully booked, we would reimburse your application payment fully. Once your family place is confirmed on the programme, you will receive further detailed information and suggested items to bring, info on the programme and things to do in free time and so on.

Balance payment:
For families who are accepted and booked in, the downpayment is deducted from the balance payment, and the balance payment is due 2 months before arrival.  If you apply with under 2 months notice, the full payment is due in full upon confirmation.


Project Dates

When applying for one week, you can choose from any of the 2 week start dates (every other Sunday) and then just specify in the application that you and your family are joining for one week.  Each programme begins at 3pm on Sunday afternoon and the programme finishes the following Saturday.
