Each student pays a non-refundable $150 registration fee and is responsible for fundraising the remaining $550.

We are raising a total of $82,500 as a group.

You will have fundraising deadlines that you are also asked to meet. Below is the deadline set for the 2012-2013 year.

Financial Deadlines:

1. November 11- installment of $150 needed

2. January 25- installment of $200 needed

3. February 22-installment of $200 needed

4. March 3- Final Payment (Account for the remainder of the fundraising)

If a student does not meet the necessary fundraising goal during the three separate installments they will be required to pay a $25 fee that will go to the overall M:P program but not towards their personal fundraising goal.

Mission Possible is during Gonzaga’s spring break March 9-16. However if spring break doesn’t work with your schedule we have a similar immersion program called Justice in January that is during winter break.

No, we do not reimburse deposits or fundraising money.  The money raised will be used to help support the program.

Jonestown, Mississippi - This is a construction site! This could be pretty intense like rebuilding a bathroom, porches and painting. You may also work with children in an informal setting and play games.

San Francisco - This site is focused on environmental work. The week focuses on sustainability and environmental service.  We have worked at Point Reyes and the San Francisco parks conservancy. We also do general projects and building trails within the parks system.

Neah Bay, Washington - The site itself is situated on the coast and nearby Lake Ozette where the Makah Tribe have lived since pre-colonial times. The week will be a cultural plunge into tribal life on the Makah Reservation as well work in elementary schools and providing residents with random acts of kindness.

During one of our first Mission Possible meetings you will be asked to rank your site preferences from 1-10 and explain in detail why you would like your top five preferences. It is our goal to try to get you a site within your top preferences but we cannot always guarantee that.
