Being a volunteer.

[Adrien C]

By having some problems with my studies, I've recently decided to take a break as, latly, it didn't make sense. So, Ive decided, hey, why not volunteer for some conuntry wich name I can not pronounce ? So as to now, I'm like crazy looking for some volunteer site. The problem is, most of them seems like some bullshit scams to me. They ask you to pay them for you to help. A non refundable 400 USD my ass. I have no problem not being paid for 4 month, but to pay for the job is uterly stupid and seems like a scam to me.
The UN asks for 5 year work experience ... I'm not going to even comment on that.

So have any of you taken the volunteer adventure ?

Where did you go ?

Edit.- I'm seing that a lot of organizations use this to gain money. I mean, one site (www.earthwatch.com) asks for 3000 Euros to volunter for some sientific project in Australia.

Friendly, it is best advice of mine to be given to you to become a voluntary personal, helping your occupational resume as a result of this. ,if money that they will getting become refundable you should make a consideration for these efforts. best wishing and luck to you, friendly.

Yep, I've just realized that being a volunteer on the net = going on holidays for 2000 dollars.

all my volunteer activities have been local, through my school or in my town. I don't know much about international stuff. There is the PeaceCorps, but that's a two year commitment.

The Gulf Coast region of the United States is still devastated. The areas East of New Orleans and west of Mobile still need all the help they can get. I'm sure you could find a group doing work there be it a large organization like the Red Cross or maybe a private church group taking people along to help the reconstruction process. Best of luck for whatever you decide to do.
