Very good for beginners in an international environment. I got a chance to learn about volunteering experiences from speakers and fellow participants and I hope to implement some of the learnings in my projects.

Total Scam! I repeat, SCAAAAAAM. Don't fall for this SCAAAAM. Just like the so-called Center for Diplomatic Advancement, they are a total Scam. They have no certifications of any academic, political nor social sort. The first red flag you will find is that for the payment of the application fee, there is a random and dodgy overseas account that will receive the money. Unbelievable that scammers like this still exist in society. Don't fall for this Scam.

charging for applications (not actual participation), unsure of the veracity of the site. It has a lottery component to it. Who can we contact to follow up for feedback?
Response from Headway Institute of Strategic Alliance· Aug 22, 2026
Thank you for sharing your concerns. To clarify, the application fee covers the assessment and administrative processing of an application; it is not a participation fee and does not guarantee selection. Applications are evaluated against the published eligibility and selection criteria. Where applicable, a randomized process may be used only among qualified or shortlisted applicants to ensure fairness and geographical diversity—it is not a lottery-based sale of participation. We would be happy to review your case and provide further clarification. Please contact our official support team through the contact details listed on our website and include your full name, application email, and application ID.

Paid registration fee for Global Youth Festival 2026. Withdrew my application on July 27 — before any decision was made. Requested refund. Organizer refused, citing non-refundable policy despite no service being delivered. No evaluation, no benefit, no value received. Disputing through my bank. Be cautious before paying.

Thank you for your feedback. As clearly disclosed during registration and accepted before payment, the application fee is non-refundable, including when an applicant chooses to withdraw. The fee covers application processing and evaluation—not guaranteed selection or participation. Your application was handled through our established review process, and the relevant feedback was communicated through the appropriate channel. HISA has a global community of more than 1,500 alumni who have attended our international programs hosted worldwide. We remain committed to transparency and encourage all applicants to review and accept the published terms carefully before submitting payment.
