As a high school or college student, getting involved can mean joining a club, participating in student activities, or doing community service. Being involved in community service and extracurricular activities can help you get into college by giving you a well-rounded résumé and interesting experiences to write about in your admission essays. Extracurricular activities could also help you win scholarship dollars, figure out your future career, even help you network.
Remember, though, that "quality over quantity" holds true for many things, including getting involved. Don't fill your schedule with so many extracurricular activities that you sacrifice your good grades!
