Are there many Social Opportunities for non-Navajos?
Not compared to what one might expect in a more metropolitan region. There is only one service club (Lion’s International) which struggles to survive. A chapter of Phi Beta Kappa is in the Chinle School District. Most other opportunities are centered on friends, family, school or church. Volunteers are always welcome at the hospital and nursing home. We have a volunteer fire department. It is not a place for shy recluses. You best be a friend to have friends. As you show an interest in the community, opportunities will open up. Sometimes, just sharing a meal is a good start.
