Global Builders Registration

For volunteers from anywhere EXCEPT the EU

For citizens and residents of the EU

The Registration Process

  • Click the register button to join a trip and then sign the online waiver. Choose which trip on the registration form. No payment required.
  • Your Team Leader should be in touch within 2 business days, if they have not already, to discuss their trip. Team Leaders must approve each participant who applies to join their team, so be sure to respond to their messages right away in order to gain approval and reserve your spot. Many choose to discuss with the Team Leader first so they have pre-approval.
  • For safety considerations see the U.S. State Department travel advisories, and we also recommend that each team member register their trip with the STEP program (for U.S. citizens or nationals) or the equivalent with their home country.

After registering, you’ll receive essential trip information from:

  • Your registration confirmation email, which you should save and refer back to because it includes links to:
    • Your Fuller Center Country Guidebook
    • Information about your travel insurance
    • Links to your online pre-trip training
  • Your Team Leader
    • If you have not been in touch already, they’ll be in contact with you within a few days of registration to discuss trip expectations, answer any questions, share arrival flight guidelines, and approve your participation.
    • Once approved, you may make your payments
  • Payments
    • Your fee includes food, lodging, and local ground transportation during the official trip dates, as well as emergency travel medical insurance and a donation to the local project. It does not include airfare or souvenirs. Site-seeing is limited to opportunities in the area local to where you will be working or passing through within the trip dates and may have extra costs.
    • All payments and forms are due 45 days before your trip. Late fees apply.
    • A $400 non-refundable deposit is due within 2 weeks of applying. This applies only to open teams, not churches or schools.
    • Pay online, or by check at the address at the bottom of this page. If you’re unsure of your balance, please ask your trip leader or feel free to call us at 229-924-2900.
    • Some locations allow for paying extra for a single room. (Ask your trip leader for details.) If requesting a single room, you may pay for it using the same payment form. 
  • Policies
  • Fundraising
    • You may choose to create a fundraising page through our site to cover your fee. Remember that the same deadlines apply, so start fundraising early.
    • Third party fundraising sites like GoFundMe or Facebook cannot be used for our trip fees.

Coordinate with your team leader before purchasing a flight. Teams should arrive together. We provide emergency medical insurance, not trip cancellation insurance, so consider purchasing your own when you purchase your ticket.

All team members must share travel details with their trip leader since it is required for the insurance program as well as for making a smooth arrival and departure experience. 

And then…
Congratulations! You’re all signed up. Continue on to Prepare for Your Trip.
