VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Looking for a great way to be part of your community and offer your services as well? Become a volunteer! The City of Paso Robles is always in need of volunteers to do everything from clerical tasks and library help to Community Patrol with the Police Department and membership on our various committees. Without volunteers, the City wouldn’t be able to offer the quality or quantity of services it is able to. Volunteers are vital to our organization. Be part of it!
Adopt-A-Street
The Adopt-A-Street Program is a fun and worthwhile program that gives individuals,
companies, schools or organizations an opportunity to adopt a City street and
beautify a part of Paso Robles in partnership with the City. Adoption requires litter
pickup on a section of street a minimum of twice a month for six months. This is a
great way to promote community pride and goodwill within your organization, and among
family and friends. For more information on the Adopt-A-Street program or to sign up,
visit the
Adopt-A-Street page.
Advisory Committees
The City has many advisory committees that are composed of dedicated community
members who volunteer their time. The committees are advisory bodies to the City
Council and provide important input regarding decisions to be made on specific issues
affecting the community at large as well as specific groups or interests such as
Senior Citizens, Teens, the Library and the Airport.
To learn more about the committees, check out the City Council Advisory Bodies page. It includes the purpose of each committee, when they meet and the terms of office.
