The City of San Diego greatly appreciates all of the time and effort our volunteers give to contribute to America's Finest City. Volunteers can be found helping out in almost all City departments, working in offices, recreation centers, and libraries, or at parks and beaches. Last year, over 31,000 volunteers worked more than 415,000 hours assisting in City departments. Many City programs could not operate at all without this volunteer assistance.

City volunteers are a diverse group, including seniors, students, professionals, families, church or community groups, and many more. The City has numerous Volunteer Opportunities, with over 150 different types of volunteer jobs in more than 20 different City departments. If you are interested, you can fill out a Volunteer Application form and mail or FAX it directly to the City Department. You will be contacted for an interview once your application is received. Or, you can simply call one of the phone numbers listed in Volunteer Opportunities and speak to the Department Volunteer Manager.

Thank you for considering volunteering with the City of San Diego!
