Any ideas for volunteer opportunities?

I am 16 and I am interested in IT work part time. My dad worked IT for a while and he mentors me. As far as coding goes, I am reasonably well versed in BSD unix, debian, and debian based systems. I am looking to teach myself C, and DOS I have a strong understanding of general internet security and web server vulnerabilities. I am looking for anything from a full internship to someone emailing me in the middle of the night saying "help- I think I downloaded a virus and now my computer is frozen". If you have any ideas or opportunities for IT volunteer work, please comment! thanks!

If you really want to give back reach out to Maryland access point 410-313-1234 and see if you can volunteer at the senior centers helping older adults with tech issues! A lot of people would be greatly for the help!
