You need to complete the service hours your school district requires for graduation (if the require any), and after that you are done.

Since you don’t find anything that you are particularly interested in doing as a volunteer, you need to think of other ways to fill your out-of-school time. Do you have a part-time job? Do you play sports or music, perform in the school/community theater, write for the school/community newspaper, manage an e-business/website, have another major activity? Do you need to devote a significant number of hours each week to helping your family run the home/family business? All of these would count as extra-curricular activities. Find a good way to describe them and to demonstrate what you have learned through them.
