Looking for a place to stay in Amsterdam for a few weeks, please read!

I am currently on my gap year but moving to Groningen for university in august 2013. I am trying to learn dutch this year and I want to do something rewarding so I would like to live in Amsterdam for a month or so to practice my dutch and do voluntary work. I would like to stay with other students or people of a similar age to me (18) so that I can make friends and have a great experience. If you have a spare room or sofa I could sleep on for a few weeks, or even just a couple until I find elsewhere, I would be very grateful as I will not be making money through voluntary work.
Please email or respond to this post if you have any information for me :)
Dank u!
