Well, in my specific example, I volunteer for a cemetery (making a website, acting as treasurer, and helping get internment data in a third-party online service). There is no one on the board under 60 years old excluding myself. They have certainly helped me get some connections though and are people I enjoy. The other thing I do is volunteer for a nearby farmers' market (website, online branding). Those people are not as old, and they are absolutely wonderful. But I just don't connect with them well enough. I will say also that I am pretty social and outgoing (contrary to the average web/software dev), but I just don't connect with them that well.

I also started a freelance software company in my local area that I have a few leads with that will likely make me some money. www.geneseesoftwarellc.com. Mainly targeting local government and small businesses. I'm hoping this opportunity would look good on a resume or get me some connections so I can grow my skills or the company if I'm being optimistic.
