Working Vacations:
Short-Term Jobs, Volunteer Vacations...

Wouldn't it be nice if your vacation paid for itself? What you need are short-term positions. Here's where to find them:

Volunteer vacations (VVs) are just that... taking time off to make a positive difference in the world. Typically, lodging and some meals are provided by the coordinating organization, but transportation and other costs are covered by the volunteer. However, since these trips are for a worthy cause, you could use fundraising to cover your expenses. That's right... your trip could be free!:
