We are so excited that you are considering joining us on our trip to Senegal!  Going to Senegal is a life changing experience. We want to be able to give every single person who wants to go the opportunity to do so and to insure that they will have a safe, fun, educational and fruitful experience. For these reasons, we are going to ask you to complete this application to ensure that you will be able to take full advantage of traveling to Senegal.  

The trip will take place over Mamaroneck High School's' February Break, 2/14/26-2/22/26, however precise times/flights have not yet been determined.  To be safe, do not make other travel plans during this time if you are at all interested.  All travelers will have to pay the entire cost of the trip themselves. The estimated costs at this time are about $4,250-4,750 (not including vaccinations, traveling money, etc.). Final costs will be calculated once the total number of students and chaperones has been determined.

Please read the following instructions

  • There are a limited number of spots on this trip. Please submit your application as soon as possible.

  • Applications are due by October 5th at the latest.

  • We will give priority to qualified Students for Senegal members who fill out their entire applications before October 1st. After this date, no priority will be given. Non-club members are very much encouraged to apply and we expect to be able to accommodate many of you. In the meantime, try to get involved in anyway that you can!

  • The application consist of some basic contact information for you and your parents/guardians, a few short response questions about why you want to travel to Senegal, and a place for you to request a reference from a teacher, coach, employer, etc.

  • After everyone applies, we will let you know shortly after the deadline. We are usually able to take nearly everyone who applies but have filled up early in the past so encourage you to apply asap.
