Answer:
About the only ones that let you go by yourself (as opposed to going with your parents) are church goodwill mission trips. Insurance for a bunch of minors would be a nightmare. Any program that you find is going to ask you to pay for your transportation, medical and dental insurance, and probably contribute to, if not pay all of, your food and housing costs. Harsh as it sounds, high school kids just can't contribute enough to make it worthwhile to pay them. If someone wanted an orphanage painted in Peru, (or some other semi-skilled taks done in some other country) it would be cheaper to hire a local person, plus it woud give a local a job. You might like the SCA - Student Conservation Association. They take teens as young as 16. You do manual labor, improving trails or building camp sites, in national parks.

Start by volunteering locally until you turn 18. There are plenty of opportunities to help out Stateside................ In short - don't worry about the rest of the world until things are sorted out at home first.

Church missionary projects in South America. But you would have to believe the Gospel.

How about joining the military? You get good pay and enlisting is volunteering. Why not serve your country?
