Are there opportunities to volunteer internationally in non-disaster situations with other organizations?
Some agencies seek volunteers to work in non-emergency situations to help communities in the developing world. If you are looking for direct involvement overseas you may want to check the InterAction Web site, which provides a list of more than 160 humanitarian organizations doing work internationally that are seeking volunteers on a disaster or event specific basis. A publication entitled Global Work, available from InterAction, lists volunteer, internship and fellowship opportunities around the world. A geographic and program index helps guide readers with specific interests. For more information, contact InterAction’s publications office.
