How to unlock the Friendship Commemoration Medal achievement in Valkyria Revolution - Definitive Guide
Community Circles are unlocked when you first enter the Promenade. You'll be prompted to talk to the Girls Only circle at the cafe, though they may not always have an event (I've hit this point twice - once it did, once it did not).
First, except for the last group, Circles are random. Circles will appear randomly after each mission, whether it be free or story. There is a red exclamation mark if a circle is meeting which you can find in the Circle menu (press , bottom option). You don't need to discover a circle for the exclamation to appear, though it is possible to find them with no events available (and you often will). Here are the circle's I've found so far.

The final circle is special. These unlock after certain story events. It's very possible they are missable. As long as you check your Circles after every mission, you won't miss anything.
Childhood Friends
Location: Various locations (See below)
Members: Amleth, Basil, Violette, Fritte, Solomon
Events:
- Intimate Knowledge (speak with Basil on the East side of the Promenade)
- Amleth's Amore (speak with Violette in the Bumbling Bard)
- A Long Time Ago... (speak with Fritte on the East side of the Promenade)
- Of One Mind (speak with Solomon in the Royal Cemetery)
Keep in mind that even if a Circle appears, it may not necessarily have a new event (even if you've never discovered an event for it). Sometimes they meet with no event. Once you find them all once, just keep checking after every mission for that exclamation.
Haven't ran into the circle event happening and not being an event. Maybe I'm not far enough into the game. I have some you don't have and will gladly share it with you when I'm home from work. Ones about cooking and ones about manly men at the bar
Edit: Nvm you do have the bar one. Whoops haha
A trick for getting the majority of the circles is after every mission, both free or story, go into the character menu and go to the circles options. It will tell you if there is a new one without needing to leave the HQ, even if you have not found the circle yet. All of the circles are in the promenade, save for one, which is in the bar. I was getting a new circle 75% of the time after any missions, so this went pretty fast for me
If you do this from right when circles are available you will easily get them during your playthrough
EDIT: as of chapter 6, an additional 2 events become available for one of the circles

Community events are short conversations with your soldiers that have a chance to trigger after each mission (no matter which type - Battle, Free, or Story). There is no set order that these will unlock in, nor any way to guarantee one triggers. After each mission, hit the Back button and choose the "Circles" option to check if any are active - these will have a red exclamation point (!) next to them. All of the Circles are found in the Promenade, except the bottom three: Male Sensibilities (The Bumbling Bard), Weapon Lovers (Headquarters), and Childhood Friends (various - two are in the Promenade, one in the Bard, and one in the Cemetery). Just go find the group of people and speak with them to view the short scene.
These will continue to trigger after the story is over, and you should get them all while working on grinding out 100 Free missions. Just remember to check after each mission to see if a new event is available. Once you have filled out all the empty slots (marked by "???" under each heading), the achievement will unlock.
