<p>I've been searching for quite some time online, but all the programs I find are 4-5,000 in cost. Are there any programs out there that are like $1000? Thanks for the help</p>
<p>[WWOOF</a> - World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms](<a href=“http://www.wwoof.org%5DWWOOF”>http://www.wwoof.org)</p>
<p>You can volunteer on an organic farm, just about anywhere in the world, for a small fee (or free). You just pay to get yourself there, and you get free room and board. </p>
<p>My daughter might do it this summer in Sweden. You can do it in the US too and save some travel costs. </p>
<p>I’ve never understood those international programs that cost thousands of dollars for a student to live with a family in a developing nation. Why is all that money necessary? Who is getting it? Not the host family, I bet.</p>
<p>Thanks that’s the sort of thing I was looking for. any one else. Will be checking that program.</p>
