Volunteering in Chelsea
If you have the inspiration to give back to your community, we would be pleased to have you join our team of volunteers.
We have many opportunities available for volunteers of all ages. Some working directly with municipal departments, others working with community organizations during off-site events.
Any way you would like to help would be greatly appreciated. Please know that your time and talent are invaluable to the community! Volunteer with friends and family at local community events, or if you are interested in a long term commitment, there are opportunities available all year long depending on your interests.
