Many recruitment agencies require people to pay to volunteer. While there are some advantages for certain people, paying is not always necessary. In fact, some volunteer organizations actually pay you to volunteer. It sounds strange but a "paid volunteer" is a real thing. What do you think of paying to volunteer?

I've been volunteering globally for over a decade and I've found the best experiences are volunteering with a platonic buddy. Do you prefer to volunteer solo or go on the adventure with someone to share the experience?
