Are there any volunteer programs that let you travel?

Question

I was just wondering because I love traveling and would like to do some volunteering. I'm 16 and getting ready to be 17. Any suggestions would be helpful :)

Answer 1

check with church groups some do missionary trips and you just need to help raise money and of course spread the good word...

Answer 2

If you are in the USA* and like the out-of-doors, the Student Conservation Association (SCA) will let you camp in a national park and do manual labor with a team of fellow high-school students, under the direction of an older person. You have to pay your own air fare and buy your own food. The NPS loans you a tent and such.

* All we can tell from this end is that you speak English. If you are not in the USA, edit your question to say where you are. Each country has different programs.

"Volunteering" covers a lot, too; tell us if you mean working with dogs at the shelter, teaching literacy or cleaning up beaches.
