I'd begin by searching for orgs through one of the 378 areas of focuses that covers the fields of environmental and social justice, such as: Worker's Rights, Socially Responsible Investment, Democracy and Civil Society, Alternative Fuels, Local Food Systems and Human Rights Protection.
Another useful thing to try, is to search for orgs in the city where you live in.

As Paul Hawken said, its an exciting time to be alive because its this generation that's going to really change things.
Its the combined energy, creativity and teamwork of these organizations and people working in diverse fields that we need. It's not just one particular issue like climate change or a few major orgs, but all the orgs who are working to create the conditions for life on this planet.
