If you like to volunteer or possibly meet people, many of these organizations have local affiliates or they have resource information to put you in touch with local volunteering agencies in your area.
Some of these situations are extended period, overseas charitable type work like the Peace Corps. They may require you to pay transportation costs to the place but usually your accommodations and food are provided.
Some offer extracurricular tourist activities on the side while some are just straight work. Some familes volunteer together in a project and some take their vacation in a volunteering capacity.
Two books at the library with more resources are the three volume set National Directory of Nonprofit Organizations which I found at #061 in my library and at #361.8, the book Community Resources Directory published by:

Probably your closest source of volunteering is to ask your local churches about programs in your area and overseas.
Some volunteer opportunities turn out well, some leave you feeling you were used. Try to talk to someone who went to the same program as you're interested in before you sign up.
Ask some basic questions like:
Who are the other people I'll be with? What are they like? Are they my age?
Will I get my own bedroom, a shared bedroom or sleep in a dorm?
Is room and board included?
What are the bathroom arrangements?
What is the food like?
Who pays for transportation and room and board?
Are there any additional expenses?
How much free time will I have? Will they provide activities and tours for the volunteers? Will I be able to travel around?
What about security and safety?
What about medical insurance?
