Join Mentors for its next field trip. You will interact with clients and witness firsthand the power of a micro-credit loan and the impact it has on families. Mentors' clients are hard workers, committed to giving their children a better future. Don't miss this unforgettable opportunity as we visit our partners worldwide!


Meet the Clients

Field trip participants personally visit with Mentors clients as they labor in their shops, fields and homes. You will learn about their families, their struggles, and their dreams.


Meet The Local Staff

Each Mentors partner organization has an executive director who leads his or her team of local administrative staff and loan officers. You will have the privilege of observing Mentors' leadership abroad.


Organized Travel and Accommodations

Field trip groups usually number about 20 per trip. All amenities, including lodging, food and transportation, are planned far in advance in order to assure a safe, comfortable, and structured stay. Optional side trips to tourist destinations, such as the ruins of Tikal in Guatemala or Machu Picchu in Peru, are also included.


FAQ


What is the typical field trip itinerary?

A Field Trip typically begins with a weekend departure out of Salt Lake City with a return flight the following weekend. We spend 2 to 3 days with each Mentors partner organization we visit, meeting with local leadership and their clients. This will be interspersed with some history and sightseeing of the area. On the last day or two, the itinerary usually includes a visit to a featured tourist destination.


What is the Cost?

The anticipated cost starts at $2500 per participant, depending on the destination countries (based on double occupancy and departure from Salt Lake City). This cost covers airfare, transfers, hotels, entrance fees, breakfasts and lunches.


When is Mentors' Next Trip?

Mentors' next trip is in February 2010, to the Philippines. For more information or to request an informational package on Mentors International, please email us at mailbox@enterprise-mentors.org or call 801-676-7776.
