Many language immersion schools offer volunteer programs that are pretty cheap, and you’ll get to learn the language of the country that you are in either before volunteering or while volunteering. Some great programs in Central and South America are available here: http://www.spanishabroad.com/prog_volunteer.htm

For example, one of the programs in Guatemala is $720 (plus airfare) for a month, which includes language lessons, housing with a host family, meals, volunteering, etc.

I’m not sure if you’d rather volunteer directly for a non-profit (rather than being linked with one through a school), but it seems that the schools are often surprisingly cheaper.
