Look in the listings for the Office of Undergraduate Research at your local university. Often, there are no prerequisites except you have to contact them yourself.

This is what I did in soph/junior summer, and I got an assistantship at a psychology laboratory, and even though it wasn’t loads of fun, I gained the valuable realization that psychology is definitely not for me.

Plus, it was completely free!
