Consider looking in libraries, nonprofit organizations, colleges & universities, and perhaps the occasional socially-conscious corporation whose product or service you have knowledge of or interest in. Job titles might not help all that much, because the label does not always have much to do with the work (frinstance, I have the same job title as another guy in my department, "Administrative Specialist," meaninglessly vague as that is, and our jobs are pretty much dissimilar--he does budgets and managerial paperwork--works with numbers, I organize seminars and grant proposals and PR--work with words and people). Still, you might want to look at jobs called things like: Project coordinator, project manager, [something] services coordinator (I've seen a "coordinator of information services" job title somewhere and I have no idea what it means but it sounds cool)... museum educator or museum education coordinator or exhibit designer, researcher, social worker...
You might also look into training in architectural design, cultural anthropology, sociology... or if you're not up for a ton of education, seek work as an assistant to someone in one of these fields, which can be nearly as rewarding as doing it yourself.
