Take it slowly, if that's feasible. Increase your involvement gradually and see how it goes. And try to set some boundaries and have them be known to managers and coworkers. And try to have activities outside of work to maintain that balance.
I'd definitely start small. Maybe you can join a committee that is low commitment or help with a short-term project. That way, you're involved but not overwhelmed. You could also just find a once a week or once a month commitment? I think the most important thing is just remembering that you don't have to say yes to everything in order to be engaged
