Flex budget
These funds are a buffer for cultural experiences, treats, and/or celebrations and will be determined by the group leaders with the help of Builders during the trip.
HXP Travel Insurance
HXP purchases travel insurance for Builders traveling internationally for what happens during the trip. For Builders traveling to domestic locations, you will use your own personal health insurance in case of an emergency during the trip. View HXP's full insurance policy.
International SOS Services
International SOS is the world's leading medical and travel security risk services company. This third-party professional organization offers international support and guidance, approves local hospitals and clinics, and provides and handles all emergency evacuation and security emergencies. More about how HXP keeps participants safe.
Domestic Travel
While tickets and baggage for international travel are included in the price of international trips, participants must get themselves to the "meet-up" airport. This location is indicated in the expedition information while selecting trip preferences, then meet-up details (time, date, etc.) are posted in your Builder Portal 90 days before your trip leave date.
Spending Money
These funds will be used for purchasing souvenirs and snacks throughout the trip. We typically suggest bringing $50–200, depending on the type of spender you are. For more, see our packing tips.
Visa/Vaccine Costs
If your trip requires a specific vaccine or visa, it will be indicated during the trip selection process. These fees are highly varied based on location and typically range from $60–300. View HXP's Vaccine Policy.
Background Check
This extra check is required for Parent Builders only. The base price is $25, but if you have legally changed your name in the last seven years, it will cost $36 (an additional $11).
Fundraising
Over the years, thousands of Builders have helped pay for their humanitarian efforts through their own entrepreneurial ventures. We've collected ideas from past Builders who have funded their humanitarian projects through creativity and hard work. Many others have raised the necessary funds by inviting their extended family, friends, work, and community to partner with them in their efforts to serve.
Contributions from others (besides you or your parents) for HXP trips may be tax-deductible, provided that certain conditions are met. The money you donate to HXP will still be used for humanitarian purposes and is therefore still considered to be a non-refundable donation by the IRS. More information about donations.
“I loved being able to make a small difference in the life of a participant. This girl would not have been able to go on an HXP trip without donors so I was grateful to be able to contribute to her experience. Seeing the change in her after her trip made me know my investment was worth it.”
