When I was a teenager, I used to volunteer for the local library. It was a nice way to spend some time, discuss with the regulars about their latest readings, and feel useful to the local community.

What are your experiences?

    In addition to the “real” local government, my city has a system of community-run boards that give recommendations on things like zoning variances and pending legislation. I’ve been involved with that for over a decade, and often represent my community serving on stakeholder advisory committees for transportation projects.
