Closely related to geek interest might be math or science teaching.  I volunteer 
at a couple of public schools tutoring math.  I find it rewarding, and it helps 
keep the cobwebs out of my old cranium.  If it is high school level, it can 
range from geometry to calculus.  At the middle school level, content is less 
important than teaching methods and patience. If there is a convenient school, 
talk to the counseling staff for how you might help.

I expect IT skills would also find a home at some schools.
