What to do right now to prepare for summer?

Alright so again I'm currently a sophomore at a semi-target with a decent GPA and resume looking to break into IB soon like everyone else on here. I'm in Raleigh, NC so an internship in Charlotte or Raleigh or NYC is what I want. What exactly should I be doing right now to get an internship? And what type of internship? everything I find seems to be for rising seniors or totally informal as an application.
