Yes, as the talking orange juice said, it's best to give back and volunteer. I remember being a judge a few times for FLL tournaments and you get a good feeling, know that you inspired people. Also it might help to find a new team. I personally stuck with my old one, but it's up to you. If you're going away for college, see if there's teams out there that need help. And most importantly don't try to take control.
