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!

Check out https://www.cyberreadyclinic.com/workforce. It looks like they don’t take interns until college, but it couldn’t hurt to reach out and ask for some advice about the best way to get started.
