Become a Volunteer!

And make a difference!

Volunteers are the heart of a community. Our volunteers are a valuable resource for our fast-growing, fast-paced city.

Our city relies on our volunteers for everything from staffing special events to assisting with park clean up and small repairs.

"Newark is a city of the arts and a city with outstanding public spaces that serve as our urban oases. We invite Newarkers and visitors to visit our parks and experience all the arts and culture that Newark has to offer."
