> Run for office Many counties and cities also have boards that normal citizens can join. It's usually not too hard to get on it if you can make a good case like "I live in the community, this is important to me, I have experience in this area." Good thing to do if you don't want to get as involved as running for office. You also might meet some important people in local government
