Look at your skills and your passions. You may take for granted a skill or knowledge that you have that may benefit others you share with. An simple Internet search for 'volunteer opportunities' will give you a start. There are a number of sites that will pair up your skills with groups that need them.
At the very least you can make a difference by being humble, thoughtful and caring of those you meet along the way. Don't forget that you represent your country as well as overland travelers in general. :-)
