Does anyone know any organizations similar to the peace corps that's not limited to US citizens only?

Question

I really want to join the peace corps but I'm not a US citizen, does anyone know other volunteering organizations that doesn't have nationality as a criteria?

Answer 1

I think you might recheck that.I don't believe you have to be a US citizen to join the peace corp.If it's true then they'll tell you where you might go.

Answer 2

Olen is wrong. You have to be a citizen. I was going to suggest VSO too, as Michael did.

http://www.vso.org.uk/

(Based in the UK, takes volunteers from anywhere, has a six-month "programme" for people 18 - 25) I knew VSO volunteers when I was in the Peace Corps 30 years ago. They are a solid, well-known organization. These folks are sometimes known as the "British Peace Corps". They give you a small, modest salary, pay for your housing and medical insurance, and pay for your air fare home. You work in one of 30 countries. The normal term of service is a year.

Answer 3

Yes.  VSO is a good one.

Go to www.vso.org.uk.
