Looks like fun but I was hoping to work with another person or group, besides making an AI might be a bit too difficult at my level of programming. Right now I am working with a not for profit that I am helping put their information online, it is not too hard but I was hoping to branch out into some other things.

Have you explored extensions to whatever you're already doing for the nonprofit? You already have a project and contacts and could perhaps suggest enhancements to their website. Depending on the nature of the nonprofit and what is already online, possibly a "Donate" button using the PayPal (or other) API, or a data driven calendar of events, with a custom designed administrative maintenance panel, using good security techniques; or how about an online Quiz to help draw people to the site? Trying to establish new contacts with a new organization can require a lot of time, when you already have done that for the nonprofit you're working with now. That's my suggestion.
