I have served with my church in California as a Deacon
I have also served with my church in my current location as a Deacon
In my current city where I reside:
I serve with the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure Committee and their African American women's breast cancer collaborative.
I was working on the American Heart Association heart walk and their Cultural Health Initiatives
I can easily serve on the Urban League, but I am not feeling that right now.
There is a stronger NAACP in this area
And the local YMCA has a girl's mentorship program
My local university has several opportunities to serve.
As a result, the Faculty Senate is recommending that all matriculating undergraduates must serve a minimum of 300 hours of community service as a graduation requirement. I have not seen the formal language so this is heresay.

The Junior League
The Links, Incorporated
And I help with fundraising and/or serve on the Board for a few other organizations including Girls, Inc; The Opera Company; and Art Sanctuary (founded by author Lorene Cary).
AlphaFrog, I just love handbells, but my group meets at the same time as our handbell group.
Activity update: I was asked to help out with the praise band (accoustic guitars/vocals)...and then, after I said I would, the person running it comes to me and says that he can't be involved anymore so I need to take it over. AND the person who was doing the Youth handbells is not able to this year, so she asked me to take that over. Wow...I went from being INVOLVED in church activities to LEADING just about every group I'm in.
