Volunteering is a great way to expand your horizons, add to your CV and just generally improve your own, and potentially some other peoples lives. The Metropolitan Police have had a long running campaign to attract volunteers to the force. Paid volunteers I hasten to add. The Special Constable Programme offers an opportunity to train with the police and make a difference in your own community.
Volunteering can be a great way to see the world on budget, as well as giving something back to the communities you stay in, Original Volunteers offer trips to Brazil “renowned for thousands of miles of palm fringed golden beaches, the Amazon, the mighty Iguazu Falls, the Pantanal wetlands, Rio and carnival. This placement allows volunteers to experience this country from a unique combination of two perspectives; as a tourist enjoying the best of what Brazil has to offer and as a member of the local community on your voluntary placement.”
