Hi everyone,

I just want some of your input and/or recommendation for a volunteer program I may participate in during summer – 1-3months in length that is held abroad.

From googling, I found quite a bit of material and it’s quite overwhelming to sift through it all and pick out the best one that accomadates not only my wallet (who knew I had to pay to volunteer!?) but also my spiritual well-being <3

My “ideal” volunteering experience would include fighting for women’s rights and/or liberating them… I came across maybe one program that came close to that so I’m wondering if that was the only one. That particular program is held in India.

Oh and for those who are about to quick reply and scold me for posting this under the Law School forum… I’m just asking because this is going to be going on my extracurricular activity on my app., and seeing as how Boalt Hall was thrilled about having volunteering over a couple of months abroad, I decided to turn to here…

Opinions I seek are IDEALLY from people who have gone through or know someone who has gone through the programs you are about to suggest I investigate.

…and really, I am doing this to get the fuzzies in my heart to help out the world :)!
