Answer 4

The goal in countries like Haiti or those in Africa is to give local people jobs, so unless you have a degree in, say, child psychology and speak French, you need to be prepared to pay a fee to cover the costs of your flights, in-country transportation, health insurance, accommodation, food, security, translators, training, staff to supervise and support them in their service, liaisons with the police and local officials, etc..

There is a listing of the more-than-30 member organizations of the International Volunteers Program Association (IVPA) that is a good place to find reputable volunteer-for-a-fee programs -- programs where you don't need to have much experience in order to participate, and the placements are just for a few weeks or months:

Here is a web site that can help you learn more about the skills and experience desired by long-term placement organizations that don't charge volunteers, and how you can gain that experience locally, wherever you are right *now*, no matter your age. You are never too young nor too old to start engaging in activities and training that will make you a viable candidate for long-term volunteer placement agencies some day:
