How Do You Volunteer Professional Services? 366
keefus_a writes "My wife and I usually take a week long vacation in the Spring and I tossed out the idea of volunteering abroad. Neither of us has a problem with doing manual labor, or whatever task is needed. However, I thought it might be of some value, and substantially more rewarding than our daily grind, if we could volunteer our professional services (I'm a network guy and my wife has a master's degree in counseling). The problem is that I haven't found any resources for doing so on a short-term basis. So I ask Slashdot. Has anyone ever done short-term volunteer work in your professional field? What organization did you contact? Or are we better off donating money to a particular cause and just working on a tan?"

Addendum: if they ask you to take a "free personality test," you should try a different church.

Dude,
You're posting on Slashdot. You're a D&D rulebook lawyer. Your sig is a Tolkien quote.
Did you think you were just a little nerdly?
Don't feel bad. I myself actually own a Star Trek collectible. You're in a safe place here, among friends. :-)

...volunteer our professional services (I'm a network guy and my wife has a master's degree in counseling)
You know...that might actually work. After I let some volunteer-for-a-week upgrade my network, I'm sure my boss will demand I have a shrink examine my brain...
