I have never heard about it... Ok, wait for comments from another people but I'm very doubting existence of it... :roll:
according to my friend, you can volunteer in an orphanage, teaching the kids english
There was a discussion club in British Council when BC was in Russia. They invited a British native speakers to run conversations. As I found out that men worked in Russia. I didn't ask how they get here.
So why not? I think www.google.com will help you. Click here, for example.
But be careful all must be in law entirely. It's needed for your safety as well as anywhere.[/url]
Here is one here but I think it costs 60 dollars to register with them.

I have no personal experience of any of these, but I had collected some contact details for ESOL in Russia:
idealist.org ...... maybe for Nepal only, not sure if Russia .... temp 1month

(This is a volunteer service, but you have to pay a lot, it's more like a tourist agency)
I've seen at least two organisations for volunteers in teaching, orphanages in Russia on a two weeks - months basis but I can't remember the website. They were charging too much - they want you to pay for the charity.
excellent, thanks for your help, if anyone knows more information, don't hesitate to post :D
I know nothing about an organizations that accept english volunteers in Russia but I know about a bodyshops ran by Indian which tries to get money and then they disappears. So you must be careful chooseing the organization and have to get information about it enough.Quote:

yeah, i looked into cross cultural solutions.. that's only if your very rich because it costs about $2,500 to help in russia, and you STILL have to pay for the flight down (which is over $1,000)Quote:

I have a net-pal that is an English teacher there. More $$$ and I'll visit her for 3 month visa. About a day by train, couple hour flight from Moscow. The teacher thing is legit, basically teachers running a travel agency from a school. One of the Russian student that worked here on the Cape checked them out for me. You pay to get there, room and board is volunteered by parents there. Nothing in this world is free...
