Hammer & Screwdriver Volunteer?

You might be able to volunteer, however I am not sure that you would be able to volunteer unix skills to any organization.
As Neo said, determine a project for yourself to improve your own skills.
Another option is to practice by answering questions on this forum - in essence, solving a lot of small projects while improving your skills.

Once you are more confident in your skills, there are websites that specialize in connecting project requests to programmers. Seek them out and then apply your skills. In the internet world, most companies with data problems will not care who creates the solution or how old they are, only that a correct solution is provided.
