Join a Literacy Mission

The Mission Team will be composed of approximately 8-12 volunteer applicants and 2 staff members. Partial scholarships will be given, as well as 2 alternate spots for mission travel. Each mission is for a period of ~1 week. The travel scholarship includes ½ roundtrip air fare to Ethiopia from Washington D.C (IAD), all lodging while in Ethiopia, an itinerary for the mission that provides volunteers with hands-on activities; and several meals while in Ethiopia. Mission Team volunteers should be prepared to raise or pay approximately $1500 to cover their portion of the airfare and bring a modest travel allowance on the trip. Applications must be received by March 5, 2012 to be considered for the mission. The Team Members for our 2012 mission will be announced in the April 2, 2012.

Team Travel Application Evaluation Process

Mission Volunteer Applications will be evaluated by the Board of Directors for the Davis Moon Project in consultation with staff participating in the trip. While it is a subjective process, general criteria will be applied. We are looking for the best possible team chemistry in addition to the most qualified applicants. We are acutely aware that diverse backgrounds, ages and experiences of team members will make the trip more rewarding for all who participate. We will work to assemble a group of travel partners who will genuinely add value to a mission. While we would love for every applicant to join us on our journey, we will choose the 10 most qualified that fit our mission goals.
