Wow Judith, you are diverse indeed. I love the passion. Reading through your list of interests I kept thinking forest service. I live in Montana and on any given day folks that work for the forest service can be asked to do any or all of the things you enjoy. Cooking at fire camp, teaching school children about the environment, working a post at a fire watch tower where you will be able to sketch til your heart is content, all while making a difference in the world.
Keep an open mind and start thinking outside the box. Good luck.

See if you can shadow or set up visits with local business where your interests lie. I was able to work shadow at a farm, a vet clinic, library, and dairy while I was in high school which allowed me to narrow down what I wanted to do next.
