I'm going with YDI, I've always had to give details about my trip when I apply for a visa. More than once I was reminded that I can't work on tourist visa. The applications also say it.
Many countries separate volunteering from tourism in their visa regimes. YDI for not doing your homework. Your intent is irrelevant.
So you paid $3000 to volunteer? YDI
That'll teach you to volunteer for things.
I mean apart from the general advice to always double check yourself - take this up with the agency. What have they been doing with your money if they can't even get you the correct visa for it?

Did you, or the agency,check this beforehand? After all, as a volunteer, you're not a tourist...
