Volunteer abroad?

Question

i want to volunteer abroad the cheapest way i can. i have explored a lot of volunteer websites, but i want to see if there are any i haven't checked out that are recommended. i'd like to go to Africa or Asia. as it is i have an english degree in progress and i have done some coaching and tutoring, but i am up for anything except religion oriented programs. i'd also like to keep the program fee under $2,000 US, without airfare.

Answer 1

check your community center. in your community, there are probably tons of people that have volunteer programs

Answer 2

I see that you are interested in Africa and Asia, but my experience is in Latin America.  There is a program called DREAM project in the Dominican Republic.  It's something worth considering and finding similar projects in the world where your not paying a middle man to arrange for volunteer work.

Also www.craigslist.com has a section for volunteer opportunities.
