Be a Trip Leader

TRIP LEADER EXPERIENCE​

WHAT WERE YOU BORN TO DO​

You’ve probably come here because a lot of people you respect have talked to you about being an HXP Trip Leader. But what are you even signing up for? Let us tell you: you are signing up to love kids who will change your life. You’ll get to know these Builders, have fun, cry, laugh, work hard, serve, be stretched beyond what you thought you could—and that’s just the first day. Are you ready for it?

People that have already been Trip Leaders do not need to apply again. They will return by invite only.

Being an HXP Trip Leader is...

  • Confidence in who you are and your ability to impact lives for good
  • Previous international experience (beyond a mission)
  • Experience working with youth (14-19)
  • A successful academic and/or professional history

  • Able to commit to 45 hours of preparation during the year leading up to your trip

What happens after you apply?

For those of you applying for your second or third time, welcome back! Our application process for 2024 has four rounds: an online application, a video interview of five questions, a video submitted by yourself, and an in-person interview.

Here’s a tip…the sooner you apply, the better chance you have of getting a spot.

Early Admissions will close September 5, 2023 with interviews to follow in October. There are five waves of applications (September 15, October 11,  November 15, December 12, and January 25th).

All decisions will then be communicated by February 23, 2024 and trip assignments will be announced at “Sorting Day” on March 1, 2024.
