Does the Civil Air Patrol count?
CAP, despite being the butt of many jokes, can be a good place to get some experience IF your local unit actually does a lot of flying. As a CFI you can get yourself qualified as a pilot, then mission pilot (if you want to participate in search and rescue) and become an instructor. CAP pilots can use the planes to pursue new ratings and need to complete CAP's equivalent to flight reviews, so they might welcome getting another CFI up to speed if it means more accessibility for their pilots. .....Or, you might encounter a bunch of old grouchy Vietnam vets who view you as an outsider.. go visit a few of their meetings and see what the environment is like. Realize going in there will probably be a lot of older experienced military guys, so you might have to prove yourself even more as a "young guy" in that environment, but it might be worth it, so go in with a friendly respectful attitude, not as a know it all.
