To cover general organisational costs of the workcamp (food, materials, local transport, coordination, and educational activities), participants are asked to contribute a participation fee.
Payment Conditions
The participation fee must be paid by bank transfer before the beginning of the camp.
Payment options:
Bank transfer to Youth for Smile bank account (available for EU member states).
Online payment system allowing payments via VISA, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Revolut, Wise, and N26.
If you are not able to make a bank transfer, please contact your sending organisation to find a suitable solution.
Confirmation Procedure
To ensure responsible participation and preparation:
Within 30 days after receiving the official acceptance confirmation, the participant must confirm their participation by sending travel information to Youth for Smile.
The participation fee must also be paid no later than 30 days after confirmation.
Failure to confirm participation or complete the payment within this period may result in cancellation of the placement.
Cancellation Policy
If a participant cancels their participation:
At least 45 days before the project starts, or
Within 14 days after receiving the acceptance confirmation,
→ 100% of the participation fee will be refunded.
If cancellation happens at least 14 days before the project start,
→ 50% of the participation fee will be refunded.
Cancellations made less than 14 days before the project start are non-refundable.
This policy helps ensure responsible commitment from participants and allows the organising team to plan the camp sustainably and fairly for all involved.
