Volunteer Vacations: Short-Term Adventures That Will Benefit You and Others

A volunteer experience is the best way to travel, combine personal growth and philanthropy, and get to know other cultures and people by helping them. The seventh edition of this classic adventure travel guide lists more than 2,000 projects worldwide that need volunteers. Detailed organization profiles provide contact information, project locations and objectives, costs, dates, and application instructions. Cross-referenced indexes help travelers plan according to cost, destination, length of vacation, season, and type of project. Vignettes from volunteers take the reader on-site, describing the type of work that was done, the people met, and lessons learned from volunteering.
