Many educational facilities, especially those involved in the sciences, can use international volunteers as a valuable resource. These individuals are often interested in financing their travel from one location to another and typically accept housing and a relocation stipend as compensation for a great deal of work. Property owned by the NPO may be used to house these international volunteers.
International exchange is a wonderful opportunity to disseminate knowledge and learn from other people. Nonprofits are wise to take advantage of a system that allows international volunteers to come and work with their organization.
