Programming is a tool. Find a community organization you care about - whether that be picking up trash or what have you. Follow their processes, understand them. And then look for ways where you can automate things to make them more efficient.

I like this idea a lot more than just "make a website." While that is clearly a valid application of programming, it's not my strong suit and most places already have websites up anyway. I'd imagine most any of them could use some good scripting and such though! Thanks!
