Volunteer/Mission Trips

Following these steps is a vital part of planning a successful trip!Following these steps is a vital part of planning a successful trip! We are thankful for the time you spend planning, recruiting, and organizing for your trip to Lagniappe. But regardless of the number of people recruited, plans made or plane tickets purchased we cannot accommodate any team that does not have a specific reservation number in writing from Lagniappe. No exceptions. You will get this when you are prompted to pay online. Email Lynne Sabin for your number.

This may sound 'too firm' but we are simply trying to ensure that your experience with us is the best possible. We've had a few teams who believed they were 'signed up' and 'on the way' when we had NO beds, NO space and NO ability to put them to work.

Therefore, your trip is booked ONLY following STEP 4 below when you receive your confirmation e-mail from Lagniappe.

Now, before doing anything else, download the misson trip checklist form at the Mission trip forms page.

Below is a summary of the form:
