I would recommend getting involved with Udacity as a classroom mentor/forum mentor/project reviewer. All you have to do is demonstrate enough domain experience for whichever course you want to help out in. You can do that by either completeing the course in stellar fashion or demonstrating your skills via a stellar personal project.

On a similar note, maybe offer to teach programming during the summer. There may be parents who are willing to pay a bit so their kids can be exposed to programming, and being a kid yourself, you could create a fun and non threatening atmosphere. Plus, for kids, it's not so important that they learn exactly the most marketable languages and techniques, but just to expand their brains and tickle their interests.

Another idea is to tutor introductory college students. I made reasonable money in college as a math tutor, even as a freshman. The college had a tutoring center, who paid my wage, so I didn't have to deal with collecting money from my students.
