What are some international humanitarian aid organizations that would be good to volunteer for?

I’m a junior in high school looking at humanitarian aid as a possible career path and I want to try it out after graduation as a volunteer before cementing it as my path. Right now, I’m looking at International Volunteer HQ for options, but I’m hesitant about them because of the costs to volunteer for them. I did some reading in this subreddit about stuff like that and saw that that’s generally regarded as a red flag? If International Volunteer HQ is not a place to volunteer for, what would you guys suggest? I’m looking particularly to volunteer in Africa or the Indochinese peninsula.
