I volunteer for a small charity in Canada.
www.globalyouthnetwork.ca

A big part of what we do is sending small teams comprised of university students for the month of May to various regions of Central and South America, Northern Canada, USA, Eastern Europe, Africa and South Asia. While abroad, the teams participate in a variety of volunteer activities with locally based humanitarian organizations while learning about the culture and the social, political, economical and physical challenges faced by local residents.

After reading FlyerTalk for the last little while, I realize there's got to be better ways for us to get cheaper airfares AND collect FF points for our organization. This could drop the cost of the trips and put more money into relief & development projects. So I'm asking for some ideas from FlyTalkers.

For example, can an organization like ours collect the FF points of all the students we send out on trips? Most students don't belong to FF programs as this usually their first overseas trip. Even if a few join, what good will 8,000 points do in one person's account compared to aggregating all those points in our charities account.

Open to any and all ideas.
