Volunteer Program

The mission of the Volunteer Program is to enhance and extend the County of Sonoma’s ability to provide services through training, relationship development, and by connecting people with opportunities to serve the community.

Established in 1984, the County of Sonoma Volunteer Program places hundreds of people each year throughout County departments. Countless volunteers invest energy, skills and talent to make Sonoma County a better place to live.

Volunteering is one of the greatest forms of civic engagement. America was built by volunteers and it continues to thrive because of our community’s volunteer spirit.
