Composite volcanoes most often are found near subduction zones. They can be found at either oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundaries, oceanic-continental plate boundaries, or continental-continental plate boundaries. They are especially prevalent in the Pacific Ring of Fire.
A few composite volcanoes, however, have been found at divergent boundaries and away from plate boundaries at hot spots.
A stratovolcano, also known as a composite volcano, is the type of volcano that occurs along a convergent plate boundary. These volcanoes are typically steep-sided and have explosive eruptions due to the presence of viscous magma.
The Falcon Volcano on the Tonga Islands are in the Indo-Australian Plate- a convergent boundary.

The cotopaxi volcano sits on the pacific plate.
The Turrialba Volcano is located on a convergent plate boundary where the Cocos Plate is subducting beneath the Caribbean Plate. This subduction process is responsible for the volcanic activity in the region.

It is a composite cone volcano and is located near a destructive plate boundary where the African Plate is subducted beneath the Europian Plate.

Eyjafjallajokull volcano is located on the divergent boundary between the North American Plate and the Eurasian Plate in Iceland.
The Volcano Villarica is on a converging plate boundary.

I think the plate boundary is in the subduction zone.

A volcano.
It is not on a plate boundary but in the middle of a plate. Kilauea has formed over a hot spot.
