City of Ventura Volunteer Opportunities

Rosie Ornelas, Volunteer CoordinatorWelcome Prospective Volunteer!

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the City of San Buenaventura's "Volunteers for Ventura" Program. You are taking the first step in what we hope will be a rewarding volunteer experience.

As a Ventura volunteer, you will have the opportunity to contribute your unique talents and energy toward providing a richer quality of life for your community. And, by joining our City Volunteer team, you will share in an opportunity for self-development and self-fulfillment.

Please take few minutes to browse our exciting volunteer opportunities and learn more about being a City volunteer, and about the many volunteer opportunities that exist within the different departments of the City. If you see a volunteer opportunity that piques your interest, please download, fill out, and return a volunteer application. Once I receive your application, I will contact you to discuss your interests in more detail.

On behalf of the City of San Buenaventura, I would like to thank you for interest in becoming an important part in the operation of your City.

Sincerely,

Rosie Ornelas
