Description

Russia is one of the most multifaceted countries of the world. In many ways, the country is still developing and as a result there are many opportunities for volunteers who wish to improve the lives of some of the less fortunate.

St Petersburg's imperial heritage and turbulent past have saturated the city with culture and history. Hence, opportunities to preserve and advance her cultural status are plentiful.

A largely undiscovered treasure, Russia holds much in store for those wishing to spend their time volunteering.
