Volunteer for some kind of really different organization. Something strange or something that you'd normally never think of doing. Not only will this create a differentiating point on your CV, it'll show that you're willing to move out of your comfort zone and experience new things and new people. And who knows what kind of network effects that'll have.
Another easier-said-than-done one is to figure out exactly what you want to do. Having a laser beam focus on some objective will set you apart and give you a goal to move towards. Often you won't know what this is until you get your feet wet in some aspect of it, so maybe the first suggestion is better starting place.
Good luck!
