My suggestion would be to find senior level freelancers and offer them your services, See if they have low hanging fruit that they can throw your way with the understanding that you get to take a crack at new challenges as well. This way, you always have a back up should you get in over your head. You always have someone that has a vested interest in the project at you disposal that you can call and say hey I just don't get this, can you give me a hand to get through it. A lot of freelances need another hand but they don't need a senior level price tag. Enthusiasm goes a long way to convince them that you can be that second set of hands.

I really like this idea, any suggestions on going about finding people willing to do this? Or just finding senior level freelancers to ask. Thanks.

The same place you meet developers, HN, meetups, conferences if someone says I freelance, use that as your intro to pitch them in a polite manner. I would post every time there is the monthly seeking work thread here on HN.

That site is pretty intriguing, I'm not a member though and I don't think I'd currently qualify for an invite since I don't really have anything to show. Maybe I'll check it out when I can show something I've done. Thanks.
