Independent Program Fees
January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008
$1650.00 (U.S. Dollars)
The IIVN Program Fee is calculated to provide participants with the highest level of quality and service, and is subject to change at the discretion of the Int’l Internship & Volunteer Network.
Our Independent Programs are customized for mature, self sufficient, professional individuals who do not require “hand holding” and planned social activities.
The majority of Independent programs are unpaid*, full-time, professional placements. Although a stipend is requested, we are unable to guarantee it will be extended, as it is left to the discretion of the host employer.
*Hospitality/Ski Resort Programs in Australia, as well as placements in China (except for Banking and Pre-Med) are Paid opportunities.
