Deadlines:
         $100 per team member deposit due immediately
         $800 per team member (plus any airline overage) due 72 days before the trip departure
         $795 per team member due 23 days before the trip departure

$100 deposit at time of commitment is non-refundable (a church can transfer this to the balance of their trip.)
Once ticketing on a group reservation has occurred, the funds and the ticket are completely transferable to another person up until one week before the trip.
If tickets were purchased individually, or a replacement can’t be found, the airline ticket belongs to the name on the ticket per airline restrictions. Any monies paid over the cost of airfare will be held for up to 18 months to apply toward a future trip.

The base cost of the trip, $1,695, is tax deductible. We recommend you check with your tax accountant. 

We recommend that team members bring $150-250 in small denominations. You can buy soda at the Harmony House, souvenirs on craft night, and $5 services at the end of the week such as massages, haircuts/braids, and nail polishing. In addition, each team is given an opportunity to change someone’s story by donating money to help a local family with a specific need. We accept cash, check, and credit card on craft night.

No, there is no need to exchange your currency as American money is widely accepted throughout the island.

Up-to-date Tetanus and Hepatitis A is recommended.

We encourage team members to do whatever they can to get into good cardiovascular condition before the trip as most volunteers find the walking and lifting to be more than what they’re used to in the States. In addition, the heat can be exhausting.

If it is a high-school-only trip, the student must be 13 by day of travel.
For a multi-generational trip, any child under the age of 13 must be accompanied by a parent. Even on a multi-generational trip, no child under the age of 10 will be permitted. We suggest, as a guideline when deciding if your child is ready, that you be able to positively and completely agree with this statement: “My child is mature enough to go on a full-day work site without me, and I am prepared for them to do so.”

Safety is of the utmost importance to Won By One To Jamaica. Team members will always work and travel in groups. Rules of appropriate behavior are communicated to both Americans and Jamaicans. The Harmony House is a secure facility. 

WBOTJ owns and operates two 28-passenger coaster buses which serve as transportation for the teams. A dump truck and a pick-up truck with trailer are also used to help move luggage and building materials.

At the end of the week, the team will have the opportunity to participate in a day of recreation outside of Harmons. This may either be a day spent at one of the famous excursion destinations in Jamaica (YS Falls, Dunn’s River Falls, Blue Hole, etc.) or an afternoon/overnight in Montego Bay, open for time at the beach, lunch, shopping, etc. The Recreation Day for each team will vary and is based on availability and current travel guidelines.
