Sorry, you're too late.  The deadline for application as a student volunteer
was April 17.  Looks like you'll have to wait until next year....
(which is good for me, you're one less person I'll have to compete with
 this year! :-)

As far as ACM goes I'd suggest finding your local student chapter (if it
exists) and check it out.  As far as I'm concerned the national stuff isn't
too bad, but making local contacts and friendships in a local chapter is
much more useful than another article about software engineering or some
silly health insurance.....
