Discover the Possibilities...
Volunteer!
Volunteering with the City of Roseville offers many opportunities to make a difference in our vibrant city and in the lives of those who visit, work and live in Roseville.
Volunteering offers endless potential to engage with others who care about the same things you do, utilize existing skills and build new ones, and feel the satisfaction of expanding community resources through your contributions of time and talent.
Whether you are looking for one-time, ongoing or project-based volunteer opportunities, there is an avenue for you to engage. We welcome individuals, families and groups of all sizes to discover the possibilities of volunteering with the City of Roseville.
Ongoing OpportunitiesRoseville offers several ongoing opportunities to volunteer. Ongoing volunteer opportunities are for those who desire to serve on a regular basis and allow you to have a set schedule. The first step to becoming an ongoing volunteer is to complete a volunteer application or call Volunteer Coordinator Rachel Boggs at 651-792-7028. Some of these opportunities require a background check or special training.
