Sorry, I also remembered some other programs that my friends have done after submitting the post above.

One of my friends did a program in Guatemala where she was only responsible for paying for airfare. Once there, she found an organization that housed and fed volunteers, as long as the volunteers committed to staying for a reasonable period of time. I don’t remember the name of the organization, but I could find out.

Also, I know that you stated a preference for volunteering abroad, but as Student615 mentioned, there are a lot of fabulous programs in the United States too. For example, I spent a little time volunteering in the Gulf Coast. If you have an interest in this, this is also an opportunity where all you would have to do is purchase a plane ticket, as many organizations host volunteers for free right now. You’d also have an extremely rewarding experience.
