Quite a few although not as easy as you might hope. Sometimes background checks required which is good but might just be an impediment put in place over the fear that volunteers do work that locals should be getting paid for. - Nov 2019
Due to my own work I haven't explored this as fully as I would have wished. There are many, many volunteer opportunities here.

The Embassy occasionally will have beach cleanup activities. - May 2019
