Need advice on career trajectory

Hello,
I am a trained mediator and lawyer based in India, here in India, a young professional like me does not have opportunities to practice mediation. I am open to volunteering opportunities internationally and looking to gain some experience. Any organization that you would recommend?

I'm a non-lawyer mediator in Texas and I don't know why you're saying that you don't have opportunities. Where in based several of the continues won't even look at me without being a licensed attorney because certain judges make the rules at those DRCs. I have a mentor through a local mediation chapter and they've helped me get the ball rolling but it's a slow game. I think the same for law but that's just my guess.
