There are many reasons and many ways to volunteer. Volunteering is one way to make a personal difference in the world. You will learn about another culture, another way of life and respect for other people. Volunteering is the cheapest way to see the world. Most organizations that use overseas volunteers charge a fee that usually covers room, board and transportation.
Many volunteers cover their expenses through fundraising or community scholarships.
Volunteering gives you the opportunity to make a difference in the world and share experiences with others. Whether you are studying art history or Latin or sociology, whatever your chosen program, studying abroad allows you to earn credit towards your degree while attending a university in another country. Studying abroad offers you the opportunity to immerse yourself in another culture. The courses can be for one semester or for the entire academic year. The fees can include tuition, room and board, excursions, language courses, transportation and medical insurance.
