Fantastic inquiry! Personal Branding and Networking are indeed your strongest allies when it comes to securing an internship. Here's some advice that could be beneficial to anyone in a similar situation:
* Establish a LinkedIn profile. Include all the courses and projects you've completed and stay active by sharing any knowledge you find valuable.
* Consider offering your services to non-profits in your local area or online. Volunteering can help you develop your skills, and gain experience, and could potentially be considered as an internship.
* Make connections with individuals and companies within the CS industry, particularly those where you have an interest in interning. Arrange casual interviews to learn more about them. Researching the company and preparing in advance can be a significant advantage.
There are also several excellent online options available for high school students seeking to gain CS internship experience:
1. CodeHS - This platform offers virtual computer science internship programs during the summer, teaching web development, game development, cybersecurity, and more.
2. iD Tech - A renowned tech education company that provides virtual summer programs and internships for students to learn programming skills, with offerings specifically tailored for high school students.
3. AI4ALL - This non-profit organization runs an AI-focused virtual summer internship for high school students from underrepresented backgrounds, with a focus on AI ethics, algorithms, and solution building.
4. Microsoft Virtual Student Internship Program - A three-week virtual internship experience open to high school students worldwide, focusing on computer science-related projects.
5. Launchpad Internship Program - A virtual data science internship program designed specifically for high school students, helping them develop data science skills.
Many of these programs also offer need-based scholarships, making them economically accessible to high school students. They provide excellent CS experience along with mentorship opportunities.

I am happy to give you advice, but it will be your personal exploration of information online through searches and websites that will be most helpful to you. You should read and choose which internships are the best for you. I can't be certain of what courses or work would be new for you, that is something you can decide after lots of reading about the various opportunities.
Simply Hired is a website that has some listed internships which seem to be paid internships. Chegg Skills website also has remote internship opportunities and I have provided a link for you below. You can also read about the opportunities offered by Intern Abroad HQ at the link I've provided for you below.
Even though this will take some time reading and taking notes about all the different opportunities, it will be worth it in narrowing down a few internships to consider. You stated that you want something new, but consider taking an internship at which you can utilize what you've already learned. For something new, you can take classes remotely online. Think about visiting the website Free Code Camp at which you will be able to read about many free online computer science classes. That can satisfy your "something new" in case you do not get an internship involving something new. I have left a link for you below for Free Code Camp.
The resources below seem promising but the only way you'll know if anything is economically feasible, will enhance your soft skills and offer you a new learning experience is if you research these opportunities first hand. You know where you excel with particular soft skills and what your financial means are right now, so it pays to do first hand research, take notes and make a decision. There seems to be a lot out there for your studies and career goals.
I wish you all the best in your search and know that you will succeed in whatever you do !

Where those opportunities are I do not know but just thinking of what a younger student would be able to do and what management will trust is hard. Local high school tech department might be an area that'd be willing to accept younger people.
Yeah plugging in cables and working in a data center might not be the most glamorous for some people, but would be something a younger me would adore and think that's what most managers wouuld be willing to permit.
The problem with CS internships is the division of work is difficult in software as it is, that's why adding more people to a project won't make it finish faster.
