Also, along the same lines as community groups, but with a "Fraternal" bond are the Moose Lodge, Eagles Lodge and Elks...Rebecca's and Odd Fellows, too, plus "The Grange".

I can speak about the Moose Lodge in my area as DH and I are members...there are a lot of 30-somethings in the lodge. There is a ritual and not only does the Moose support community, kids and local philranthropies, they also support their own children's home--Mooseheart (it is a saving grace for some kids) and Moosehaven for the elderly.
