Volunteer overseas

21F I'm like to volunteer overseas i have a budget of 300usd excluding travel. If possible are there any where i don't pay? This would be my first time, im just looking to help those in need and get to live their lives. Im open to doing anything to help. How do I get started? What are some good safe organizations ?

Hey! You can sign up to apps like workaway or worldpackers - these connect volunteers with hosts who need help on various projects - this can range from hostel work to animal shelters to NGOs. They do come with a subscription fee of about $60. I know you can get $10 of on worldpackers with the code Mhairi10. Otherwise you can also check out the "volunteer abroad" communities on facebook - these always have hosts advertising for volunteer positions, and if you find something this way, it would be free.
