How can i get in contact with a private peace corps-like organization
Like a company that does the same thing as the peace corps but could perhaps let you pick where you go

Click on Advanced, and search for Peace Corps. You'll see lots of sponsored links. Expect to pay for the privilege, though. There are dozens of countries that let you take a working vacation of 2 weeks - 3 months, doing good work.

There isn't really anything else like the Peace Corps. Expect to pay a LOT if you choose any other organization. I've looked into it! If you are a doctor, there is "Doctors Without Borders" you could look into- I don't think you choose where you want to go though.
You need to be flexible in Peace Corps- even if you got to choose your country, you still don't know if you'll be an urban or rural environment, or if you'll have running water or electricity. I actually got to pick the region I wanted to go to (I chose non-Spanish Speaking Central/South America) but not everyone gets a choice. Talk to a recruiter.

Do you mean that you want to work for an NGO abroad? Because there are not any companies that I know of that "do the same thing as the Peace Corps" - sent representatives to work in villages alongside the local people. Unless, perhaps, you want to do missionary work for a church.

Just Google volunteers and you'll come up with all kinds of organizations.
