I've been volunteering as a docent at the Second Biennial Schoodic International Sculpture Symposium (SISS) located in front of the Rockefeller Building in the Schoodic Section of Acadia National Park. It's been a wonderful opportunity to meet new folks and experience the transformation of local blocks of granite and basalt into monumental works of public art for area towns. Be sure to look at the website. One visitor relayed the words of a cathedral stone cutter who said " The stone is torn from the earth and is born, it dies at the hand of the stone sculptor and is reborn at it's resurrection as a finished work of art".
That's something for you to consider - get out there in your community, find a niche of interest and volunteer your time. Many rewards are to be had.
