What is done to insure the safety of Servas hosts?
All Servas travelers have been personally screened and approved by an experienced representative of that Servas country. When screening new potential travelers, interviewers are responsible for: Making sure applicants thoroughly understand the purpose and aims of Servas and are capable of fulfilling these aims. Interviewers evaluate whether Servas is compatible with their travel objectives and make clear what Servas expects of them as travelers and what Servas hosts have a right to expect of them as guests in their homes. Gaining insights from the interview, the interviewer makes an appropriate decision about the prospective Servas traveler. Travelers must renew their membership annually and must keep their information updated in the interim. Each renewal is subject to there being no unresolved or unfavorable reports on file. Hosts rely on this screening and approval, verifying that a traveler has a valid and current Letter of Introduction when they arrive.
