<p>I am a high school senior and have decided to take a gap year next year to do community service abroad. I am fluent in Russian and would love to do something in a Russian-speaking country. I have worked with children in several different organizations, and would be interested in applying that experience. Finally, I am looking for something that would not be terribly expensive. I would love any advice on organizations or options.</p>

<p>Their life is VERY rural and simple, not everyone can enjoy it.</p>
<p>I decided to look what’s going on in Russia with volunteering and charity organizations and found a very interesting option which is considered volunteering.</p>

<p>They are looking for international teams in 2007. VERY INEXPENSIVE 
and quite unique. </p>

<p>Have you looked into AFS? They do community service overseas as well as h.s. foreign exchange. AFS is a wonderful organization. I think you have to be 18 for the communty service trips.</p>
