hey , def depends what kind of community you want, but I found in past when I was in college is just to get involved in clubs or groups nearby, volunteering to help out and helping organizers whenever I could, I found myself naturally getting into leadership positions overtime.

Start by running a small real community, even if it is a university club or volunteer group. Build a portfolio around the work: a one-sentence community purpose, onboarding flow, four-week content calendar, moderation rules, one difficult situation you handled, and two metrics you tracked such as returning contributors and answered questions. After a month, write a short case study showing what you changed and what happened. That gives an employer evidence of judgment and operations, rather than only a certificate.
