AFS and Youth for Understanding sound like something I would be very interested. I'm going to contact them for more information.
I am also interested in finding a place which will provide me with room/board and access to library/study area and areas for meditation in exchange for my labor (physical or otherwise). I believe my time would be well spent in reflection and contemplation (I am fond of Thomas Merton and Thoreau). I found one such Orthodox monastery in Finland which accepts volunteers, however I would be more interested in spending time in a Buddhist monastery on such an extended retreat. How can I go about finding if this is possible?
