Actually, use the lds.org website to look at mission opportunities. Every month, the call of non-proselyting missionaries is great, including those that serve from their home (perhaps as support for Family History). Many wards and branches post a hard-copy of the same information on their bulletin boards.
For specific humanitarian service, go to: http://lds.org/service/humanitarian?lang=eng

My wife and I completed an 18-month mission serving at the Family and Church History Mission in Salt Lake. We were actually instructed not to proselyte, since we were aiding both members and non-members in doing family history research (on a number of levels). The need is great in this area for both church-service (live at home) and full-time missionaries. And you don’t have to have any real experience in the area of working on your own family history research. You don’t even need computer experience, but you will learn to use a computer in your work with others.
There’s no such thing and you know it. Missionaries are for garnering more members wherever they are ordered to go, and they are not allowed to ask or request where, when, why, or how. That’s pretty much it. It’s a numbers game. 50,000 missionaries vs. only a handful of converts who stick. Odd are, not in favor of any humanitarianism.
