Your local community colleges -- check and see if there are any that offer ASL.
Do a google search for "deaf coffee chat". Many cities have them.
Google DNO - "Deaf Night Out" - (but unfortunately they're almost always in bars so you may not be old enough to attend one) but most cities have that too.
Try your local libraries - check out the bulletin boards to see if anyone has an ASL group going. I've seen that where I live (which is nowhere near Akron, sorry.)
