Hmm, tough to answer without more to go on. I think if I were in your shoes I'd ask myself where I'm most happy outside of programming. A lot of good entry level open source work involves combining programming with other skills.
Are you an artist? Have a talent for strong design and striking expression? Are you an organizer or a communicator? The sort of person who draws diagrams and talks to yourself practicing better ways to explain cool ideas in simple terms? Are you a scrappy tinkerer? Someone who knows how to get your hands dirty in a productive way before you're an expert? A wiz with unit testing and profiling tools? I do have an education-related project I'm working on where being a smart but inexperienced programmer might be an advantage. But it's a question of whether it's a good fit for what you're looking for. Email me if you may be interested in that.
