ALTERNATIVE
TRACK

Alternative Track is recommended for participants who would like to travel in 2022, but are unsure about or cannot travel on a postponed trip in fall 2022 or summer 2023, should that come to pass.

Aspects of Alternative Track:

1. The payment/donation schedule for those on Alternative Track will begin when the program does. Participants will make a $100 month donation towards their trip cost in order to keep their spot in the Service Year, attend meetings, and receive support on local service.

2. Participants will have a balloon payment to be current on March 1st.

3. All donations made into Youthlinc will go toward the $500 deposit, which will be non-refundable. That deposit will be transferrable to another year or person, however, if needs be.

4. All donations beyond the deposit will also carry over if trips are postponed again, but will also be subject to our regular refund policy according to IRS guidelines. See link.

5. All participants opting to choose the deferral track will forfeit their ability to receive financial aid.

6. Participants will receive a $50 late fee throughout the entire Service Year if a donation deadline is missed.

Things to be aware of on Alternative Track:

1. All money that Youthlinc receives in your name (including the $100 monthly donations to stay in the program), will go toward your deposit. Once $500 is received, the rest will go toward hard trip costs.

2. Donors to your trip, if you raise money prior to setting up an account with Youthlinc, are ineligible for tax deductions from Youthlinc if you are collecting that money rather than Youthlinc.

3. If your account is not current by the U of U health clinic, you are at risk of not being able to attend and will be responsible to organize immunizations for travel on your own if you do end up traveling with us.

4. If your account is not current when Youthlinc books flights, you will either become a “diverging” participant and be required to purchase your own flights OR you are at risk for the fare increasing and would need to pay the additional difference (if any) when your flight is booked.

5. All participants opting to choose the deferral track will forfeit their ability to receive financial aid.
