A hospital...
Maybe you could find some sort of social event...
There are a lot of things you could do, that I can't think of.

building stuff with Habitat for Humanity (if you're skilled at building things, I doubt they'd let you volunteer if you can't drive a nail straight)

I'm sure there is a pimp out there looking for fresh meat. You just have to know where to look.

I volunteered at a camp at my church for disabled children the past 2 years, this year I get $900 for working there this month. Not bad considering it's easy and mostly fun. It also give you a better, more understanding perspective on disabled kids and what them and their families live with.

The best places are soup kitchens. The folks are generally friendly, and are interesting. I wouldn't say an old folks home because that is VERY challenging.

I worked at a Vacation Bible School for 5 years now. I was the magician and care-giver of a small group of 6 year olds. It's always a challege but it's fun in the end. Try to find maybe something that has to do with children. Someone said coaching-that's a good idea.

^ Ahhh, I had to go to those when I was little, I d them.... But yeah, I agree, that would be a good idea on the other end, and also, yeah coaching would be a great idea also.
