Outer Banks Community Organizations

Including Outer Banks Nonprofits

The Outer Banks is home to a rich and active local community. A number of Outer Banks nonprofit groups and organizations bring together people with shared interests, hobbies, passions and faiths. Each gives everyone a chance to celebrate the activities and interests they love as well as the opportunity to dabble in new interests and experiences too. A few recognizable national organizations, such as the Rotary Club and Lions Club, have local chapters here, as do chapters of different grassroots organizations and environmental associations. There are also committees for town development and community planning, as well as Outer Banks community organizations that encourage political activism (some with party affiliations and others without) among residents. Those with a passion for serving their local community can join forces with volunteer organizations for emergency responders, such as firefighters and disaster relief efforts. For those looking for a spiritual community, the Outer Banks is also home to many churches and religious groups. Schools offer rich spaces for community fun through sporting events, music performances, theater productions, seasonal festivals and fundraisers.
