Remineralize the Earth is an excellent organization to volunteer for. I was unable to stay for as long as was required so I decided to leave before wasting their time. However, it would be really rewarding work, particularly if you have an interest in soil remineralization. You are able to take the initiative and carry out the administrative side of the operation, communicating with people inside and out of the organization and helping to bring people together to collaborate on the issues.
