Volunteer Abroad for 3-6 Months

So maybe you’ve dipped your toe in the pool of volunteering abroad and found a new passion. Or, maybe, you need summer break plans or you are sick of snow and you’ve decided to throw caution into the frosty winter wind and want to volunteer for the season. If either is the case, and you’re looking for a bit of a longer engagement to volunteer for a 3-6 months option is an excellent next choice.
