VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

We Need You!

The Board of County Commissioners would like to invite you to help make our community better by becoming a Community Volunteer!

Volunteers assist in providing expanded services to the public that, in many cases, would not otherwise be available. Volunteers span a variety of ages, come from diverse ethnic backgrounds and have a multitude of skill levels. But they all have one thing in common - they care about their community.
