# Trips

Trips in HelpYouSponsor bring trip planning, participant fundraising, public sharing, and team preparation into a single workflow. A trip can include its own fundraising goal, participant roster, public fundraising page, task checklist, documents, milestones, budgets, analytics, and optional add-ons such as e-signatures and background checks.

The Trips area also supports multiple audiences:

* **Administrators** manage the trip from the main HYS app.
* **Participants** view their fundraising progress and assigned tasks from their dashboard.
* **Trip leaders** can receive limited self-service tools through the Leader Console.
* **Supporters** can donate through public trip and participant pages.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.helpyousponsor.com/guides/core-features/program-management/trips.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
