Volunteering can be a great way to get your foot in the door of an organization or country of interest in order to meet your career goals. When seeking a volunteer experience through a program, you will generally be charged a fee. It is important that you ask the right questions to ensure you find a safe, gratifying experience that fits your needs.
Check out the Volunteer Resource Center; they offer local volunteer opportunities and coordinate the Alternative Breaks program, which provides social and environmental justice service-learning trips in the U.S. and abroad.
