The World Volunteers Guide lists nearly 200 organizations for individuals interested in international humanitarian projects, offering opportunities ranging from 2 weeks to over 2 years. It includes projects for students and those without professional experience, as well as for experts in their fields. The guide details various types of work and job durations based on age, experience, and availability. An extensive annotated list of online resources provides access to hundreds of additional volunteer organizations. Two indexes help readers find organizations by geographical area and aid sector. Each entry includes a brief description, countries of operation, required skills and languages, costs and benefits for volunteers, duration of the volunteering period, and application procedures. Additionally, the Green Volunteers Guide features over 200 projects for those wanting to engage in active conservation work worldwide. These year-round projects span various habitats and countries, lasting from one week to over a year, and involve wildlife research, rehabilitation, and conservation efforts in national parks. The guide includes three indexes for easy project selection based on geographical location, animal species, or project cost. Most projects welcome volunteers regardless of experience or language skills. Buyers of the Volunteers Guide can also receive free updates via the Internet with a password included in each guidebook.
