I'd encourage you to look for a local chapter of https://girlswhocode.com/, see if there are after school programming clubs in your city (or start one), or sign up with https://hackhands.com/ and get paid to mentor.

I was a volunteer instructor through Girls Who Code through the 2016-2017 school year. It was a hugely rewarding experience.

I had a class of middle school girls who had never seen a line of code before. By the end of the course, they had learned enough of the basics of HTML, CSS, and Python to build a personal homepage and a simple game.

The Canadian equivalent is http://ladieslearningcode.com/. It's a fun time, I try to do it if my free time lines up with a workshop.
