This text is designed for people who want to use their retirement only partially as a time to relax. The volunteer services described in the book are for all over the world and so are ideal for those who have means to travel.Rather than simply retiring, many of todays senior adults wish to remain mentally and physically active, putting their skills to use--or developing new ones--as volunteers. They want to use their retirement only partially as a time to "relax." They are interested in taking on new responsibilities and trying new things--and "making a difference." While many seniors must stay near home, those with the desire and means to travel can volunteer anywhere. This reference book is for them. The projects included in this guide are located all over the world, and range in length from a few days to a few months. U.S. and international projects are listed separately, arranged alphabetically by the sponsor organizations name. Each entry includes the nature of the organization, volunteer opportunities, time commitment, size of volunteer program, locations, requirements (skills, language, religion, citizenship), maximum age |
