I'm the founder of a med-tech non-profit that helps residency program administrators schedule their residents within the hospital. Its pretty boring B2B stuff, but we really do get to improve the medical education system. We have an MVP and completed an alpha test this spring, currently we're iterating on the product for our spring 2015 Beta test.

It could be a good way to challenge yourself to find that "willingness to perfect the execution". I could use help from anything to a few hour review of our layout to actual development. Since you're donating your time it'll all be internally motivated, low stress, work from anywhere, do what you feel, no long term commitments. All the code would be open sourced. :)
