From googling I see some volunteer "adventures" but I'm not really getting a good vibe from these. Are there volunteer orgs out there that are worth looking into? Primarily cuban?

Habit for humanity maybe, I won't vouch for them or any. In my experience, everything is a free labor exploitative scam. In general, without local custom and work experience, you'll be hindering rather than helping. Teaching is always a gig you can find though.

You can also try workaway.info, but see my previous statement about exploit

Thanks for the input. Guess I'm just trying to flesh out this idea. I have seven years working in the trades and want to travel to socialist countries. Thought maybe my experience could aid in that while also being beneficial to the communities there.

Maybe I should just make a separate post but are there organizations in the US where I can volunteer my experience for local communities in a positive way?

Edited for clarity
