In addition to traditional university exchange programs, there are lots of volunteer opportunities for people wishing to travel overseas for more than just a vacation. One that I am familiar with (I have family members who have participated in their programs and found them very rewarding) is Cross-Cultural Solutions which has a variety of volunteer options for students including some that offer college credit. Programs last from 2-12 weeks in one of a dozen countries from Costa Rica to Ghana. They also have scholarship and fundraising opportunities that can help defray the cost of the program.
