You can search github for labels like “needs-help” or “good-first-issue” etc. Many many projects would love help, but aren’t asking for it. Example query: https://github.com/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3Anee...

My recommendation tho of course is to find an existing project you’re passionate about, find their tracker, and dig in! Few softwares are ever truly done. Make one you love even better.
