Hi everyone! I moved here to go to school and am having trouble meeting people in the "20-somethings" age group. Are there any churches or organizations around that I could get some exposure to people my age? I'm hoping to find some opportunities to volunteer this summer. Any suggestions?
Welcome and Good Luck.. Most "20 somethings" leave this town. You might want to consider meeting people at the school your attending or consider volunteering at our many rest homes.
Get out while you still can, save yourself and your soul. The whole city is nothing but one big tax black hole.
*EDIT* I would have said the town was just one big succubus, but she left.

Geez, it isn't that bad in good old AL. Disregard the Dragon.
Sorry to hear you aren't meeting people. Are there any clubs at school? You might want to visit Holiday Lanes for weekend fun. Try volunteering. Attend church services. Walk around the lake.
I'm old, so forgive me if these are boring suggestions. Good luck.
You did mention churches (OP) - I would think there would be quite a few younger people attending Crossroads Church. They have a lot of activities that appeal to a younger crowd.
And welcome to Albert Lea. We don't have what Mankato or Rochester has to offer socially, but contrary to what some may believe, there are people who are happy here, or who at least make the best of it while they are here.

One needs to only read the New Testament to see the problem that has been created over the last two centuries within the churches.
There are a lot of parent-and-toddler activities in the Community Education flyer that comes out every few months. If you don't have one, you could maybe call the District 241 offices, or visit the Brookside Center (round building, used to be a school, on Brookside Drive). I'm not sure if those are day care or parent-and-child activities since I don't have children, but I know they have something.

me if these are boring suggestions. Good luck. 
one more question: What's there to do, places to take a 2 year old?
