Having trouble finding volunteer opportunities in Osaka. Beginner Japanese.

Hi

I will be travelling to Osaka for a month mid November. I was hoping to fill some time with some volunteering. I have looked at past posts but haven't managed to find any volunteer opportunities from them. No replies or obvious links. The only lead I have so far is to lookup the local city hall / welfare centre when I'm there.

Would anyone know where I can even find these centres, or other volunteer opportunities?

My Japanese is beginner level and will likely be 20-30 of the Pimsleur tapes.

I remember when I looked at this pre-covid, there was some opportunities for caring for elderly or handicapped people in Tokyo but that was then and I'm going to be in Osaka in the end.

If not volunteering, what other activities would be recommended that would be similarly social with locals? (Apart from the meetup language exchanges which aren't exactly what I'm looking for).

Thanks
