Volunteer to be a tutor in your best subject. Volunteer at a place near your school.
Overall, how is that going to hurt you depends on where you’re applying. It’s going to be tough for any school ranked between 30 and 50 for universities, and up to 75-85 for national LACs (since they’re small, they really depend on students being involved… and the fact you didn’t find a way to do something outside of school is going to be a problem for them). If your public university has automatic admission criteria, like UIowa or FIU, then you’re good, because those usually depend on GPA + ACT/SAT. Same thing for some honors college/scholarships, such as UAlabama Tuscaloosa’s or Howard’s.
If you’re a junior though you still have time to find thingyou like. Why not create a History club at your school and volunteer at a local museum, for instance? It’d mesh well with your other interests and would create a coherent narrative
