Question about global volunteer programs?

Question

Has anyone ever worked with this program. Is it a good program? Any info you can provide me with will be helpful.

www.globalvolunteers.org

Or if anyone can recommend any other global volunteer programs, that would be appreciated as well.

Answer 1

idk    but I would be interested as well!

Answer 2

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:

I suggest that you ask Global Volunteers why they aren't a member of this organization.

On the good side, the web site is quite detailed, and includes its requirement for local partner organizations (the people who will host the volunteers), and that's something many organizations *don't* share.
