Good Volunteering Programs

[speedyIs]

I am looking for a volunteering program, or more like a workcamp, that would last 2-3 weeks. Any recommendations?

Are you looking for something domestic or international?

 

[speedyIs]

Either. I'm willing to go pretty much anywhere~~~

For international volunteering, you could try http://www.isvonline.com/ or http://www.i-to-i.com/

Thanks~!!! Gosh, why do they cost so much???

See, that's what got me too. Most of those programs are so darn expensive, and it really hurts the ole' check book when you are trying to save up for application costs.

I wanted to do a pretty intense volunteer experiene too, so, what I've decided to do instead is simply take a vacation this summer and volunteer/shadow all day, everyday for my two weeks. Maybe you could do something similar.

You could also get licensed as a CNA or EMT and then get paid to work in a hospital this summer. Of course, you can't call the experience volunteering and you're looking at committing your entire summer to working in a hospital.
