A few years ago I joined an Improv groups. The idea was to do something completely different and to get out of my comfort zone. Works terrifically.
Turns out that the people organizing those groups also have a lot of different projects, from normal theater acts to workshops in schools to teach kids foreign languages via theater techniques.
Also turns out that that (oh surprise !) they have a some IT requirements and they can't really handle that themselves.
So I have been helping them for 2 years now; designing websites, managing wordpress, setting up a Google Workspace, managing contacts, consulting on project management... (nothing part of my daily job). But also a lot of random stuff, like organizing a festival, being a cameraman for a live stream night...
In short: join an association / NGO / charity. You will meet really great people, and bringing basic IT knowledge can sometimes make a huge difference for them.
