Participants will be provided with many resources and opportunities to fundraise, and will be expected to participate in at least two AB fundraisers, in addition to individual and team fundraising efforts.
If selected for an AB Spring Trip, please keep the following fundraising deadlines in mind:

AB Trip Leaders will be working to set up a number of fundraisers in which you can participate, and will also provide you with resources to do individual fundraising and host fundraising events with your team. It is possible to fundraise the entire cost for your trip. Many participants from past years have been able to do this, and have paid nothing out of pocket.

The cost of the trip should not be a barrier to your ability to participate. If you feel your participation would be limited because of the cost, please contact Mei-Yen Hui, Graduate Coordinator for Community Service-Learning, (301) 405-0741 or meiyen@umd.edu.
