There are plenty of areas of need within Moscow and if there is an organization that interests you, inquire to see if there are volunteer opportunities with that organization. Moscow's volunteer organizations seem less open to outside volunteers than in some other countries, but opportunity exists. Some worthwhile organizations are: Maria's Children, the International Women's Club, and various dog shelters. For a more complete list of organizations, go to www.sras.org/news2 or www.expat.ru/forum/charities.
