All you ever wanted to know (and more) about VAOPS.com
The idea to create VAOPS.com was sparked by my frustrations when I first
searched for opportunities to volunteer abroad. There was no end to the number
of services that wanted to charge me thousands of dollars to volunteer. Worst of
all little of the cost made its way to the charitable organization. At this
point, I had invested well over 40 hours of searching the internet for free and
low cost volunteer opportunities. I decided to catalog the information online rather than letting it go to
waste.
I am often asked, what does VAOPS mean? VAOPS stands for Volunteer Abroad
OPportunitieS. The domain name was short and more importantly,
available. I never could bring myself to title the site Volunteer Abroad
Opportunities because the word order was clunky. The domain has quite a few
links and a small but loyal following, so I hate to change it now.
Due to the positive feedback I have received from visitors
and listed organizations, I decided to revamp the site and expand its listings
in 2008.
Moderate success with this site encouraged me to build other sites with the goal
of becoming an online publisher. As a step toward that goal,
VAOPS is now officially a publication of
404 Media LLC
.
If you know of a worthwhile organization that offers free or low cost positions,
let us know about it. We do not charge organizations for inclusion in our
directory. Organization submissions should be sent to: webmaster@vaops.com |
