Volunteering encourages civic pride and provides a personal sense of satisfaction. In providing quality service to the City of Santa Monica, both the community and the volunteers benefit in the following ways:
-
Volunteers strengthen their skills and their talents are put to use to benefit the community;
-
Volunteers are trained and placed according to the skills they possess;
-
Volunteers feel personally enriched and meet others who share their desire to better the community;
-
Volunteer hours provide an efficient means of supporting community services and programs.
There is a
wide variety of
volunteer opportunities within the City of Santa
Monica. Whether you prefer working with children
or seniors or animals, we have a place for you!
The Volunteer Program Office is an excellent resource
and can help you find a volunteer position that
matches your objectives and skill set. We also
publish a comprehensive listing of non-profit, human services organizations that rely heavily on volunteer efforts. Feel free to call us so that we may help you find a volunteer assignment that matches your interests and scheduling needs.
Fingerprint background checks are required prior
to placement in City of Santa Monica
sponsored programs.
