Americorps
If you decide not to do Peace Corps, I would definitely say you should look into Americorps. You stay in the country and every sixish weeks you travel to a new place. My friend is in this and she has done things like rebuild a camp for mentally disabled adults and when there are national disasters like the fires and hurricanes they help with disaster relief. She has also helped teach illiterate adults how to read. She started in January and is done in November. You get paid a monthly allowance type thing and you are all shacked up together sometimes in not the greatest places, but she said the feeling you get from helping people out is definitely worth it.
Hope this helped!!!
