I’m not sure you will be able to find a volunteering role that will require heavy lifting for you to sharpen the pencil enough. I always recommend finding a good model of what you will be building in your job, and rebuilding from scratch (with no or as little much mouse as possible).

This question has been asked quite regularly and people have linked good resources if you scroll back far enough.
