Hi there,
Let me suggest the following:
Contact Volunteers of America in your area, and let them know what you are interested in.
Did you know that places like museums, zoos and nature preserves utilize volunteers to give tours and such? Nothing quite like having to walk, handle kids and present for a solid half hour to sharpen your game.
There are literally thousands of volunteer spots you could perform while sharpening your skills.
Any place that gives tours, and isn't a for-profit enterprise, will probably have a slot for you. You will have to prove yourself, but once you do, you will be welcome as often as you are able.
When I was in school, debate was the best thing ever. I believe team and solo debate should be required to graduate, as few things you will learn in school will do more for you in the world than being able to see both sides of a situation while presenting yourself in a professional manner.
So what do tours have to do with debate class? Well, nothing prepares you for the unexpected debate question like a toddler asking why the one elephant is "climbing" the other one. ;-)
Have fun.
