Foreword
Young people have enormous talent, enthusiasm and idealism. They have a real contribution to make to society and they want to make their voices heard. Volunteering is a wonderful way for them to show what they are capable of.
Volunteering is a three-way process and benefits everyone. For the individuals, groups or causes that volunteers help the value is evident. Volunteers themselves are often surprised by how much they gain from the experience: horizons are widened, doors opened, new challenges met, fresh friendships made, confidence built. I remember my own experiences with nothing but affection in every respect.
But there is a third aspect of volunteering and that is the way in which all of us gain from the altruism, co-operation and energy that volunteering releases. Society as a whole profits not only from the tangible benefits to the recipients of voluntary effort, but also from the enhanced maturity and experience that those who have volunteered bring to all other aspects of their lives. The more that people volunteer the better becomes the fabric of society. Not only that, it's fun as wellletting your life take a new outlet outside of school, college, university or even as a break from a full-time job.
No one sort of volunteer work is better than another. This new book demonstrates the enormous range of opportunities that exist around the world. There is something for everyone. The important thing is that anyone who wants to volunteer should find an opportunity to match their particular circumstances and aspirationswhether it's a week in the county next door or six months in Kathmandu.
If this guide helps you to find the right volunteering opportunity it will provide an experience you will never forget and one in which there are no losersonly winners. Good luck!

Introduction
Welcome to the 1998/99 edition of Worldwide Volunteering for Young People, a new directory of worldwide volunteering opportunities.
The directory contains a mass of information about some 700 volunteer organisations with over 250,000 annual volunteer opportunities throughout the UK and 214 countries overseas. A unique feature is its focus on volunteering by 16-25 year olds. All the organisations listed have opportunities for this age group, though many also have openings for younger and older volunteers. This wealth of precisely focused information makes Worldwide Volunteering for Young People the UK's most comprehensive directory of its kind.
You will be amazed at the enormous variety of opportunities on offer. But before going directly to directory entries you may find it helpful to spend a few moments reading this introduction in order to make best use of the vast amount of information available.
Sifting through so many organisations each with its different aims and requirements can be a daunting task, but the aim of the directory is to make this process as easy as possible. First, it is crucial to build up a clear picture of exactly what sort of volunteering you are looking for, and the guide is structured to help with this.
