Hey Jun,
I was telling you about the website that hooks you up with paid and unpaid non-profit work around the world; it’s called idealist.org.
As for funding volunteer trips, this one seems particularly interesting, especially if you’re interested in writing and journalism: National Geographic’s Glimpse Correspondence Program.
I also found one from Travelocity ($5,000 Voluntourism Grant Contest), but it’s only given to U.S. residents.
I’ve been on many Earthwatch projects, but not as a photographer. But these are more like vacations where you will be working instead of sightseeing. It’s still an incredible experience and a great way to get closer to the location, rather than as a tourist. They aren’t long trips and they aren’t cheap, though. And you could probably get more in-depth experience for less via Idealist.org.
If I hear of anything else, I’ll post it here for you.
Cheers,
Margaux
