I have volunteered for the UN Online Volunteer [1] program about a decade ago, but (sadly) I won't recommend it. Most people volunteering there have no experience in the field, they are mostly students or retirees who "want to try". I joked at the time saying that I would not have accepted that work if it was paid for. Worst part is, you can't really tell people they won't do, because they're doing this for free and with good intentions. Actually, scratch that: worst part is that survey at the end of the mission where you had to rate people you worked with on tons of criteria ; that was horrible. I would say, if you want to be helpful but not have the worst "work" experience you can have, you should probably find yourself a problem and fix it with a side project. Either host the service and allow people to find it, or just open source it with easy install steps (but there are more chances here that it won't be actually used).
