Answer 2

There is a listing of the more-than-30 member organizations of the International Volunteers Program Association (IVPA) that is a good place to find reputable volunteer-for-a-fee programs -- programs where you don't need to have much experience in order to participate, and the placements are just for a few weeks or months:

As an unskilled volunteer with only the summer to give, you need to be prepared to pay all expenses: flights, in-country transportation, health insurance, accommodation, food, security, translators, training, staff to create the service opportunities and then to supervise and support you  in your service, liaisons with the police and local officials, etc.

Answer 3

volunteer with peace corps. (and please say core not corpse. it really cracks me up when i hear that(

Answer 4

Good for you. You may want to consider something within 1000 - 3500 miles from home for that short period of time. Over seas means passport - shots quite a bit. there are a lot of Urban projects going on .Check with the state programs and the local Churches.
