Perhaps what I did will work well for you. Pick up the business white pages and find the numbers of local park and rec departments for neighboring cities/towns in relation to where you live. Give them a call and tell them that you are interested in officiating some games for them. Take as many as you can.
The games are not always very good, but you will meet other officials that have been in the high school game for years, some even college. Most will be willing to help you out by giving you contact names for local official organizations and other game assignors. One thing you may learn about this business is that your contacts often determine whether or not you get any games.
One more thing on a minor note, doing park and rec games pays fairly well, expect between $14-22/game. But, your mechanics will most likely never improve if all you do are these games. My advice is try to use park and rec games as a stepping stone for higher level games. And definitely have fun.
Hope that helps.
