Where do you go when you’re looking for a sense of community? I moved to San Diego a few years ago and haven’t really had much time to make friends since I’m always working, and being introverted doesn’t help. Any suggestions for volunteer groups or activities where I could meet people?

There’s a group on IG called irl.SD.

It’s what I used when I first moved here a few months ago and it’s a low stakes social networking group with fun events like coffee walks, beach bonfires, seasonal activities, etc.
and a monthly mixer to meet new folks.

There’s a lot of folks from all ages looking for new friends.

I enjoyed volunteering at the animal shelter on Coronado. It's called PAWS of Coronado. I absolutely loved taking the dogs for walks and seeing the different shops downtown. I also enjoyed going to The Grove Church in San Diego. It's closer to Mission Valley, but worth the drive from where I lived! There is a great sense of community and belonging there. I recommend downloading Meetup. That's how I got into one of my other church groups and met some truly amazing people! You can find all sorts of groups and activities to do on there. Also, Groupon is good for finding something to do at a discounted price. La Jolla Beach has scuba diving, kayaking, and I think even snorkeling. If all else fails then go to the beach! I loved being by the ocean and swimming in mostly the shallow end of the water lol. Sunset Cliff was always a comfort to me too. Oh jeez, now I'm crying because I miss it so much!

There’s always church

I’ve seen some really active SD social groups on Facebook.
