Volunteer Housing, Insurance, Stipends
The Peace Corps, UN Volunteers and PBI all offer great benefits to their volunteers, most of whom are mid-career professionals leaving established employment to volunteers.
These programs are very competitive, but offer financial compensation in addition to the social rewards that all volunteers receive. They cover all costs, including airfare, housing, insurance, spending money and repatriation funds.
Other organizations and programs are not always fortunate enough to have the funds to offer their volunteers compensation. Small organizations will rarely ask for a financial contribution, but will expect volunteers to pay all of their personal expenses out of pocket. Most organizations will aid their volunteers in finding low cost housing with local host families or in youth hostels. Placement and coordination organizations (charging fees) will almost always include logistic costs (beyond airfare) in their fees.
