Overview
You've been interested in getting more involved with your community, but concerned that it will take over your life. Don't worry -- getting involved doesn't have to turn your entire life on its ear and take up valuable social time. Just be honest with yourself about what you want out of this experience, and try not to over commit yourself just because you know it will make you look good. There's no point in helping out unless you're doing it to help others, not to help yourself.
