One of the great aspects of
Sueños Compartidos is that our volunteers live with host families who provide food and housing, which keeps your costs
very low. Our organization doesn't charge a program fee, although you will incur personal expenses during you stay for
travel, personal items, sightseeing, etc. A realistic estimate of personal expenses is $3,000 for the semester
program and $800 for the summer programs, plus airfare. These amonts allow for vacation (semester program)
and weekend excursions (summer programs). A typical weekend excursion might look like this:
Bus travel to and from weekend destination - $50
Housing for 2-3 nights - $30-$45
Meals for 2-3 days - $40-$60
Tours, sightseeing, nightlife - $50
Additionally, for
the semester program in Colombia, you will obtain two visa extensions which are approximately $40 each.
