I admire you for wanting to help out with that!  As far as how you can make a CAREER out of that... that is tough to say.  Check into the government welfare program, food banks, transitional housing, and all those other resources that are designed to help those in need.  I think a lot of the people who help with that are volunteers, but I believe that there are a few paid positions as well.

CUSO - Canadian University Service Overseas.\nhttp://www.cuso.org/index.php\n\nHowever - an unpleasant truth; The Peace Corps (USA), CUSO (Canada), VSO (UK) and Kiwi Volunteers (NZ) all get lots and lots of inquiries from young people with good intentions and no particular skill. It takes the volunteer organizations a certain amount of time, energy and money to teach their volunteers the language, customs and history of their host country, then fly them over there. It takes a certain amount of time, energy and money to keep the volunteers there. If all they wanted were people with good intentions and no skills, they could recruit likely young high school graduates in those countries, young people who already spoke the language like a native (because they were natives) and didn't need to be taught the culture, and didn't need air fare.\n\nWhat they all want are people with skills that the host countries have asked for. 99% of the time this involves a university degree. If someone has a degree in civil engineering with an emphasis in water and sanitary systems, he/she could travel the world, installing clean drinking water and sewage systems (septic tanks and concrete privies, probably.) He/she would save hundreds of lives and save the eldest daughter of each village two to three hours a day of labor; fetching water from the river, chopping trees, boiling the water.\n\nYou will note that requires a Bachelor of Science in a tough subject. A lot of volunteers teach English; I did. Their students go on to go to University somewhere, then come back and start installing water systems. (Or they become lawyers, or real estate developers.)\n\nThe 1% who don't have a university degree have an amazing amount of hard experience in something the host country wants to learn; fish farming, chicken farming, vegetable farming, native craft exports, co-op financing . . .\n\nSince you said "my teen", I'm assuming he/she hasn't finished University. She/he should, and should major in something useful, if he/she is serious about the CUSO. That means taking several courses in Teaching English as a Foreign Language, if he/she isn't on a track that will lead to a nursing, engineering or other degree that requires a lot of math and science.\n\nIf your teen is a 4-H leader and has managed a 30,000-bird chicken farm independently, or has worked with Heifer International for the last 6 years, he/she might get a spot.

i am studying to be a social worker in London and the main thing they want before letting you study is experience. I'm not sure how old you have to be when you leave school but maybe you could start off doing voluntary work in a care home or that environment. its hard to say to much as like i say I'm not sure on the education system over there. however you do it i wish you all the luck as there is not enough social workers but too many people needing them.

The UN has a website.  The website has a "careers' page.  You can check that out for open positions and job requirements.

I'm not sure if this is the right portal to ask for help on this issue... Anyways, I would be delighted to work in a NGO in my spare time, but then I'd be looking for a NGO in Delhi. Good luck anyways!

Hey look, if you don't try you won't see any difference. By the way, seems like you're a very prolific student. \nWhat I would recommend to you is to:\nlook for help\ntalk to any adviser and an experienced student who has gone abroad from your university\nlook for scholarships: http://faswtweb.com, for example.\ngather information, ask about anything you have in mind.\n\nLook, nothing is complicated once we try it out. I wish you good luck and hopefully you try it, have a chance to experience the world in different ways.\nMany students don't have the doors open to the opportunities you have in hands right now. So, take advantage of those before they go to the trash can...

It would be best, while in high school AND college, to go on a Rotary scholarship, which covers everything. You will also have a support group in the foreign country.

If you haven't already gotten your Masters or PhD (because you sound like you're certainly qualified to do so), I would suggest a part time career solution. Go overseas and volunteer with an NGO for a while. There, you will probably be able to get some hands-on experience, as well as a feel for the political and social issues at rift in the area. All this will look great on a resume and could lead to a very prosperous career in research in the future.

Here are a few that I know of, but haven't had experience with...\n\nHabitat for Humanity - http://www.habitatghana.org/\nACCION International - http://www.accion.org\nGhana Health and Education Initiative - http://www.ghei.org\nIkando - http://www.ikando.org\n\nA good site to check out is Idealist--they list job, internship, and volunteer opportunites with NGOs.

You can try coffee shops in the area.  Many of them have bulletin boards that will let you post notices on them.  You might also want to contact churches; they might be willing to plug your program during the annoucements.\nIf you need volunteers, you can also contact the high school in the area.  Often, high schoolers need a certain number of community service hours to graduate, and many also want to be involved in volunteer programs to look good for colleges (and some are motivated by purely altruistic motives).

A couple of quick ideas from this old RN.  How about administration in Hospitals or Nursing homes.  It should be a prerequisite for all those at the top of such organizations to have your background.  I would check with your state requirements for certification process for either of the above and go for it.  How about managing a "non-profit" having to do with the homeless situation in our country or the "battered or abused".  See--I still think like a nurse.  They say that nurses are "born" ,not just educated to do.  Ask yourself--which am I and go for it.  You have enough "book-learning"  dear.  Good luck

I would suggest researching international grant companies.  They would be your best bet.  I do not know any off the top of my head that will offer funds to inter-national students, but if you do a little research you should find something.  Good Luck!

Go to your City Hall and ask for advice on what you should do to start a non-profit organization. They should have all the answers for you. That is great someone wanting to do something for girls.
