Each year we have a few confirmed participants that are unable to go on the trip they have reserved. When this happens we will make their space available for those on the waiting list. Here is how the waiting list works:
We do not start a waiting list until all the trips are full for young women or young men. We will only place 15 young women and 5 young men on the waiting list.
We only have one waiting list that covers all the trips; all countries and all dates.
We place people on the list in the order in which they apply.
In order to be on the list you have to fill out the entire application (select "Waiting List" where it asks for trip name), pay a $500 deposit and be confirmed by AYS. If you do not go on a trip your $500 deposit will be refunded.
Once you have submitted your application and payment you will be notified when you are officially confirmed on the list ( usually within 2-3 days).
When a space becomes available we will notify the first person on the list. They will have one day to decide to go on the trip. If they decide that they don't want to take that space for whatever reason, then the space will be offered to the second person on the list and so forth. The first person will retain their first position on the list and will be given the first opportunity for the next space that may become available.
People on the waiting list that are unable to go this year will be given the first opportunity to sign up for next year's expeditions.
People on the waiting list are encouraged to start their fund raising. If they are unable to go on an expedition this year, any discounts that they earn from fund raising this year will be applied to next year.
You will have at least 45 days notice before the start date of the trip if a space opens up for the trip. This also means that no spaces will be filled from the waiting list less than 45 days before the trip starts.
If you have been confirmed on the waiting list, you may check on your position on the list at any time by calling or emailing us at

PLEASE NOTE: The waiting list will not be available (N/A) for young men or adults if there are still spaces available on any of the trips for young men or adult coaches. If you would like to be on the waiting list for young men or adults please check the web site often as we will open the waiting list once all the trip spaces have been filled.
