Stay Abroad Free by Helping the World If you're travel-obsessed like me, you're always dreaming of far-off places to visit. Maybe you want to explore the lush tropical vibes of Bali or help orphans learn English in a rural village in Guatemala. There are just so many exciting places to see - best of all, you can see them for free by volunteering abroad! Unfortunately, not all of us have the bank account to travel the world in luxury hotels like your favorite Instagram "influencer" does. What's worse is when searching for travel volunteer programs, you've likely come across borderline scam websites that charge hundreds - or maybe even thousands - just for a week or two of volunteering. That's not what this book is about. I only write about real, vetted international volunteer programs. I've sifted through countless websites and resources to find you the best ways to see more of the world while helping others for close to $0! What You'll Discover If you're looking for a fulfilling program to fill your gap year or are looking to take a sabbatical in a meaningful way, you'll find what you're looking for in the contents of this book - and you'll save big on accommodation and living expenses in the process! You'll get insider information on the following: WWOOFing Help Exchange (HelpX & Workaway) AmeriCorps PeaceCorps Couchsurfing Donations And more! This Book Is Ideal For... High School Students. Not only will programs like WWOOF and AmeriCorps look great on a college application and resume, they'll completely change your life (best of all you and your parents won't have to spend a dime if selected). Gap Year. After spending so much time inside a classroom, why not learn from people and places that are completely foreign to you? There are plenty of gap year programs available to graduates - and you don't have to spend thousands of dollars! Find out how you can organize your own trip to volunteer in a dog shelter in Spain or become in Au Pair in France. College Students & Graduates. Whether you're already enrolled in a university and want to kill two birds with one stone (travel and education), or haven't started your academic career yet and are considering getting an international degree as I did, you'll find out how you can pair your need for education with your wanderlust. Retirees. There are many farms looking for your expertise in gardening or cooking via WWOOFing. You may be able to volunteer in an orphanage in Latin America, for example, through a help exchange program. On top of that, there are also organizations you can join within the US like the Senior Corps which allows you to make a difference in a different corner of the US. Young Couples. Sometimes two is better than one! If you want to travel the world as a pair, there are a plethora of benefits. In fact, you'll save on your WWOOFing membership (which costs between $20 and $60 in most cases. A little expense for a lot of travel and free room and board!) Make Your Own Luck Travel is not limited to the elite, the privileged and the "lucky." If you want to travel - you will! Carve out your own future and live the life of your dreams by finding programs that allow you to travel for free. I've provided you with countless programs and sincerely hope you take advantage of all the resources and opportunities at your disposal. There's so much of the world to see and so little time!

Judith Love Schwab had many duties as an international volunteer, but some of the most memorable were following meerkats in the Kalahari Desert, collecting data on early gardens and buildings for archaeologists on Easter Island, helping care for underserved babies in Romania, teaching English in Poland, sifting for bones and shells in Portugal and working with severely disabled adults at an institution in Greece. While recounting these experiences, Schwab also examines the limitations imposed on her as a female growing up in the middle of the 20th century and the inhibitions she overcame to begin traveling in her fifties.

This book provides an overview of perspectives and approaches to the cultural meaning of sport volunteering in different countries. The main objective is to reflect on the diversity of meanings with regard to volunteering in different cultures and societies. Additionally, this book will shed light on volunteering practices and the impact of volunteering from both an economic and a sociological perspective. The book begins with an introductory section that gives an overview of the rationale of the text and the diversity of sport volunteers in general. From there, the book's 25 chapters each discuss a specific country case study provided by researchers from the respective country. These studies provide a comprehensive overview of volunteering in each country, such as motivations of volunteers, satisfaction of volunteers, their perceived cost and benefits, and many other areas related to the overall study. By having twenty-five different countries represented and a native of each country authoring the respective chapters, this book serves as a comprehensive and diverse review of sports volunteering around the world and can be incorporated into courses in economics - particularly those dealing with sports economics - and can also be used as a reference for volunteer organizations and sports economists worldwide.

Global Health and Volunteering: A Guide for Healthcare Professionals is designed to educate volunteers to be effective partners in delivering medical services locally and globally. Healthcare professionals are increasingly interested in global health and volunteering in areas of acute need. The biggest challenge to health in many locales is the inability to access the health care system. When people do connect with medical services, medications and surgical opportunities for chronic disease (i.e. glaucoma, diabetes, or hypertension) are often not affordable or cannot be sustained for a long period of time. The contributions in this book focus on a respectful dialog with local people and a willingness to learn from new experiences on the part of the volunteer. Skills transfer from visiting personnel to local providers is featured as a means to enhance healthcare sustainability. An appreciation of differing cultures, an understanding of the local economic conditions and challenges, and strategies for collaborating with the existing medical establishment are foundations of successful volunteer experiences as highlighted in this book. Dimensions of global health such as professionalism, religious beliefs, ethical dilemmas, traditional medicine, and alternative strategies for service are addressed by experts. Written and edited by leaders in the field, many of whom have more than two decades of experience volunteering abroad, Global Health and Volunteering: A Guide for Healthcare Professionals imparts lessons learned to help the reader avoid initial mistakes, while making the global health commitment stronger.

Learning/volunteer abroad programmes provide opportunities for cross-cultural understanding, partnership-building, and cooperative development, but there are also significant structural challenges and inequality of opportunity issues that result from these partnerships between host organizations in the Global South and learning/volunteer abroad for development (LVA4D) participants from the Global North. Learning and Volunteering Abroad for Development aims to unpack the complex benefits and disadvantages of learning/volunteer abroad programmes, using insights from the volunteers who travel abroad and the communities who host them. Based on empirical research within both volunteer and host communities, this book provides students and scholars with an alternative framework for a more careful and nuanced analysis of international volunteering programmes, highlighting ways to improve critical reflection, development outcomes, and intercultural competence. Supported by a website with additional learning resources, this book is an integral resource for senior undergraduate and graduate students interested in going abroad, as well as for scholars or development professionals who are leading or researching such programmes.
