Meet our WorldStrides Retention Team

 

Do you have a family struggling to make their installment payments for their student’s WorldStrides trip?  Do you have a student at risk of cancelling their trip with your group due to financial reasons?  If so, we have a team that can help!

The WorldStrides Retention Team are a group of ten specialists dedicated to work with participants by setting up individual extended payment plans that provide flexibility and peace of mind.  We want our families to focus on this once in a lifetime travel experience!

The Retention team works with parents to customize an Extended Payment Plan that provides for an affordable monthly payment schedule for your student’s family.  Parents collaborate with our Specialists to create a plan that works best for their finances including the option to make payments after their student returns from their trip of a lifetime.

Benefits in Working with A Payment Specialist:

  • Streamline customer service experience – each family is assigned to a Specialist who works with them throughout the duration of their payment plan.
  • Parent’s input – parents are involved with the payment plan set-up and may select the installment amounts and due dates that fit their financial situation.
  • Flexible final payment date – option to make payments after their student’s come back from their trip.
  • Easy installment payments – credit card auto-draft for installment payments.
  • Our team provides bilingual support to your families.
