Points of information about the SBST 2010 Program
1. For the sake of simplicity and group unity, each student will sign an agreement to not consume alcohol, bring an IPod (or other personal music player), use a personal cell phone while on the trip (the group will have a cell number they can give to family/friends for emergencies) and will abide by Creighton’s Handbook while on a trip.
2. The list of participant placements will be posted by Monday, Jan 25 in the CCSJ office. We will also e-mail everyone.
3. Our coordinators are of all ages, sophomores-seniors and a few graduate students.

Check out all the great sites we are going to this year. All applications are to the general Spring Break Service Trips Program, not for a specific site. We will take into consideration your preferences but offer no guarantees of where you will be placed.
Applications are due Nov. 24, 2009 any application received after will be marked late, but still accepted as long as we are able to schedule an interview.
Full refunds available until Friday December 18, 2009. After this date $150 of the whole week and $70 of the 1/2 week cost is non-refundable. If you are accepted and you decide not to participate in the trip after Jan. 25, 2010, your entire fee will be non-refundable. This is necessary because the CCSJ allocates site payments based on your acceptance to the program. If you pay by credit card, refunds after 60 days will have a processing fee deducted.
