best foreign volunteering schemes?

I've always wanted to go on a volunteering trip to another country but I don't know the best sites to do it.

Like I want to know if a scheme exists where it actually has a positive impact on a foreign community and isn't white saviourism or anything like that.

Do you know anything about these schemes and if they are worth it?
I’ve been looking into this too and have looked on plan my gap year which seemed okay. Also the mighty roar seems pretty good and it has projects related to mental health, medical, wildlife conservation and loads more and also encourage you to bring over like educational equipment and stuff for the people there

Look online. There is a lot of good information on the internet about foreign volunteering opportunities. Make notes and contact a few companies to find out more.
