There's also this government sponsored site, http://volunteer.gov/gov/ which provides volunteer positions through USA federal land agencies like Fish & Wildlife, Forest Service, National Parks, etc.

Because of your age, one of your parents will probably have to volunteer with you.

You can also look into joining the local chapter of the Girl Scouts -- they often have group volunteering activities and would welcome you to participate.
