Volunteer Opportunities in France
Volunteers For Peace offers projects in France every year for volunteers ages 15+. France was the 3rd most popular destination for VFP volunteers in 2011! The VFP registration fee is always $350 ($500 if you're under 18) and for most projects in France, that is the only fee. Short-term (2-3 weeks), long-term (up to 1 year) and group opportunities are available!

There were a lot of opportunities to bond with the other volunteers, which is why it was so easy to make friends. I can now say that I have friends from Vietnam, Hong Kong, Russia and many friends from France. I would not change my experiences for the world!" I. Malone ~ France 2011
I now have friends in Belgrade, Serbia, Istanbul, Turkey, Seoul, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Amsterdam, Netherlands, just to name a few. Most importantly, I learned to communicate in ways I had never thought, I learned how to see things from the point of view of other cultures, and I believe this camp made me a better individual." G.
