For the purpose of this question, the target age range is 20-30. Asking because I feel like I'm wasting my youth.

I'd also add participate in local politics. There's no law saying a 20 year old can't be any elected official but president.

There is, it's the constitution. You can't be a member of the House without being 25 or a senator without being 30.

However there exist countries with own constitutions outside of the US

Even in the US, state-level representation hardly counts as local. Neighborhoods, towns, counties, etc. all have people representing them.

It's cool to care about and build up your community.
