If anyone is interested this site,
VolunteerMatch, may be helpful for finding places in areas near you. I am not too familiar with the site but it has search option by zip code that could help find any opportunities near you. Also it lists many different/unique organizations that may not be as well known.

I've used volunteermatch.com and it's great. I only had a vague idea of what I wanted to do, and seeing so many different opportunities in one place was really helpful.
