I've been looking at a bunch of overseas volunteer organizations, and there's one thing I keep hearing that also applies to this situation.
The organization that does the 3 year opportunities insists that you have some previous international volunteer experience. Because three years? Three years is a loooong time. And that long in a foreign country can either be the most awesome experience of your life... or the hardest and most stressful.
If you feel, even for a second, that three years might not work out like you want it to- listen! Weigh all the options and make an informed decision, this isn't something to do on a whim. <3
((Oh maaan, can you tell I've heard these exact same things before?))
