Welcome Prospective Volunteer!
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the City of San Buenaventura's Vounteer 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 a few minutes to browse our exciting volunteer opportunities and learn more about being a City volunteer. There are 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 when there is an opportunity that matches your interests.
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,
