Suggested Household Contributions

LearnServe Fellows Program 2026-27

LearnServe is committed to ensuring that our leadership, social entrepreneurship, and global learning experiences are accessible to all students, regardless of their families' financial circumstances. You help make that possible.

To help remove financial barriers to participation, we are offering the LearnServe Fellows Program free of charge to all participants.

However, in order to cover program costs – which include meals at weekly sessions and special events, facilitator stipends, and student workbooks – we ask that each family consider a contribution that fits your financial circumstances.

The true program cost to LearnServe is approximately $2,500 per participant.  

We invite you to select a contribution amount that best aligns with your household income and financial obligations.  This model works best when those who are able to do so pay more, so that others can pay less.  Please see our suggested sliding scale contribution levels below.

Every student is welcome to participate, regardless of whether or how much their family contributes.  Your family's contribution does not affect your student's eligibility, experience, or access to LearnServe programming.  

All contributions to LearnServe, a Washington, DC nonprofit, are tax-deductible.
