Fully revised, this directory contains details of over 700 organizations that are looking for voluntary help from all types of people for all types of work. The book covers short, medium and long term residential possibilities in Europe and around the world in addition to non-residential opportunities in the UK.
If you're looking to travel around the world without being a tourist, this book is a good start. It lists numerous volunteer gigs (some paid, some not) around the world and is divided into sections first by area of the world, and second by type of work. Many of the jobs provide room/board/stipend if you pay for your travel (yet, some cover that too). So, if you have a year (or even less) to travel, this would be a good way to do it. Being a part of the community and living and learning the culture is a richer experience than tourist'ing through!
