Yeah, those organisational and speaking skills sound like they'd be ideally suited for that sort of job. I've got a couple of friends who work for NGOs who say that even when they're doing "mundane" office stuff, at least they're doing it for something, you know? Rather than just making some rich person richer. Maybe I just thought of it because doing media for an NGO is my favourite Quitting Journalism Fantasy (haha), but it did seem like a 'you' sort of thing.
I believe there are actually specific sites to search for NGO jobs (there's certainly one for the UK). You're right about the range though... When I was looking at going to the UK, a while back, I found one job that entailed heading media/comms for a "women's charity", which I thought looked perfect... Until I looked it up and discovered their charity's primary purpose was quite agressive anti-abortion campaigning... Oops. But World Vision and Medecins sound promising :-D
