How do I make friends (17)

I usually don’t ask for help on this site because I find it to be degenerate usually. But atp I don’t know where else to ask.

I am 17 and live in rural Pennsylvania, USA. The option in my school are limited and all my good friends graduated last year and my friend group in my grade splintered after my friends death. So I want to make friends my age who live near me, but I need to look outside of my school.

I genuinely have no clue how to do this, do any of you have ideas?
