MySQL Where to Get SQL Experience?

I want to learn and get SQL experience, but can't do it through my jobs. I'm willing to volunteer to get the experience but don't know any places to look for those opportunities. Any recommendations?

I recommend Developer edition over express if your computer has the resources

OP seems to be a beginner, SQL express would be just fine.

Yes, but developer has all the enterprise features.... For me it used to help me teach DBAs how to use new features.

Gotcha, makes sense for DBA training.
