While on your trip take video footage of as much as you can, during both volunteering and adventure activities. When it comes to editing, remember that 5 minutes is not a long time so be sure to convey a central theme to make your experience stand out.

You may show both volunteer and adventure components, or focus on a particular experience. Get creative! Standard testimony videos are also acceptable, as we love to hear people speak about their ISV Program.
