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.
