If you are interested in contributing to your community and making Longmont the best it can be, visit our volunteer pages (Iisted below) and find something that suits your interests and availability.

When you volunteer, you give part of yourself–your time, your talent, your energy, your heart. In the process, you acquire valuable skills and practices that are useful for other aspects of life. No wonder a 1999 University of Michigan study showed that people who volunteer generally live longer!
