Early Planning Application — Exact Dates Forthcoming Option

ISV Legacy Programs publishes anticipated immersion dates, general program timelines and opens application access for relative future immersions typically one (1) year in advance — and no fewer than nine (9) months prior to departure — to support thoughtful academic, professional, and financial planning. For those planning further ahead, future immersion seasons can generally be expected to follow a similar timeframe and calendar structure as the most recently published program year, allowing for long-range preparation with greater clarity and confidence. For programs departing more than one (1) year from now, 


ISV Legacy Programs offers an Early Planning Application — Exact Dates Forthcoming option for individuals who prefer to plan early and secure priority consideration. While specific immersion dates and final program cost details are typically released approximately one year in advance, applicants may apply in advance under a “Exact Dates Forthcoming” designation. Upon acceptance, participants may secure their future cohort placement even before official dates are published. Any required deposit submitted after acceptance remains fully refundable up to forty-five (45) days prior to the confirmed departure date, providing flexibility while allowing you to plan ahead with confidence.


ISV Legacy typically publishes even more specific program details approximately three (3) months and one (1) month prior to departure. These specific updates are sent directly to confirmed applicants.]

Investment — All-Inclusive Immersion Experience

For years 2028 and beyond, the anticipated total program investment ranges are yet to be determined and are typically published one (1) year in advance. For all 2026 and 2027 Signature 3-Week Immersion programs, anticipated total program investment ranges were between $3,500 – $4,800, reflecting destination, seasonal logistics, and immersion program focus (health, conservation, or community development & education).


This total represents all expected program expenses for your fully all-inclusive 21 day immersion experience (excluding airfare, visas, and travel insurance).


We do not advertise a low base fee and add charges later. Your investment is transparent from the start.


Your final, all-inclusive program total — covering all expected expenses for your fully inclusive immersion experience (excluding airfare, visas, and travel insurance) — along with your customizable payment plan, will be provided in your official acceptance email after you submit your application. This total is based on your selected country, program focus, and dates.


Cohorts are intentionally limited in size to ensure mentorship and quality.


After your application is accepted a standard $500 deposit secures your placement in your chosen program and dates and is applied toward your total investment. To support thoughtful planning, deposits are fully refundable up to forty-five (45) days prior to the confirmed departure date. Should circumstances change after that time, deposits may be deferred and applied toward a future program.


Deposits are due within sixty (60) days of acceptance or no later than forty-five (45) days before departure — whichever occurs first. This structure is designed to provide clarity, flexibility, and adequate time for preparation.

We are committed to financial transparency, and all program investment details, payment timelines, and policies are clearly communicated in advance so volunteers can plan with confidence.


To preserve small, high-quality cohort experiences, placements are limited. Early application submission and timely deposit confirmation are recommended to secure your preferred program and dates.


Transparent.

Structured.

No surprises.
