to broaden the shoulders you need to stimulate the medial head of the deltoid. this will not be accomplished with out some form of resistance.

In general, pushups are the best upper-body exercise that can be done from home, without the use of other equipment. You can target your shoulders by doing variations on the traditional pushup, such as the staggered-push up. In order to do this, simply get into push-up position, place one arm about 4-6 inches above your shoulder, and the other arm the same distance below your shoulder. Switch the position of your arms after each set.

You can also work out your shoulders by doing various medicine ball workouts at home, or by buying a pair of light dumbells - probably 8-15 lbs. - and doing lateral raises (stand straight with the weights at your side, and raise them outward, until your arms form a T with your body).

Good luck.

Pushups are a good start. Headstand pushups also directly target shoulders but are difficult for some people to perform.

Standing lateral raises (side raises) works out the middle deltoids. Use something weighing about 5-10 pounds starting out with that you can hold onto easily. You can use the same weight for front raises and reverse flies.

If you can't make it to the gym, then I suggest at least purchasing a few dumbell weights if you can.

Get yourself some bar bells and do flies. Take a bar bell (pounds depending on what you can take) and have your hands with the bells on your side, then raise your arm straight up as if you wanted to fly. This will improve and broaden your shoulder.
Do some 8 repetitions, rest 60 seconds and repeat twice more.
Graduate slowly to heavier bells. You can do that watching TV
