Would young women like to go on a "women only" expedition?
Is there some way we could motivate more young men to go?

Oh no! The trip is full.
I feel so bad that a lot of young women would like to go on our expeditions but find all of the trips full. Already this year, all of the trips are full for young women and yet we still have plenty of room for young men. I have often wondered why this happens? Are the young men more involved with summer sports programs, do they have more conflicts with summer work or are they just less interested in doing humanitarian service? What do you think?

I don't know the answer to your question. However, I have a young man who is very interested in going to Tonga. It will be a few weeks before we can make the deposit. How soon do you expect the boys positions to fill? Or do they ever fill?
ReplyDeleteThanks for your great recruiting - keep it up! There are 5 spaces still available on the Tonga 2 trip and I would think it would take 3 weeks or longer for these to fill up. However, I am often surprised by how fast things can change so keep your eye on this on a regular basis. Look forward to having him on a fantastic Tonga expedition!
ReplyDeleteI don't think many people know about these great opportunites. You guys need to spread the word out there more, your trips will fill up faster and then you can work on expanding the trips to fit more young men and women. I don't think young women would want their own trip. They like the children & they also like being with the guys their age. It'd be great if we could get more kids interested because i think girls are just more likely to find opportunities like this than guys. But the guys would love to go if they knew about it.
