BECOME A VOLUNTEER
Volunteerism is the lifeblood of a strong community and we want to stand side by side with you to create a thriving Downtown Rutland that our community and visitors will enjoy. We couldn’t put on our events or execute our community projects without the generosity of residents who are willing to volunteer their time.
Whether you’d like to help on event day, serve on our NEW Volunteer Monthly Meetup, beautify Downtown, volunteer photography, or aid in last minute projects, we’d love to talk to you! Fill out the form below to get started.
"The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members." – Coretta Scott King
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES INCLUDE:
Event Volunteers
Events like Friday Night Live, Small Business Saturday, Tree Lighting, Jingle Bell Shop, and more!
Volunteer needs: setup, greeters, event support, breakdown. Volunteer hours are broken up into shifts, typically needing volunteers to fill 1-2 hour slots. Volunteers receive free admission to events they have volunteered for.
On-call Volunteer
Occasionally the DRP staff need last minute volunteer help like hanging up event posters or filling planters with dirt for incoming plants. If you are interested in being an on-call volunteer to assist in these types of projects please indicate in the form below.
Volunteer Monthly Meet-up
What to Expect: Each month, we gather for a one-hour meet-up to engage in meaningful activities, such as cleaning up our streets or assisting with specific community projects.
Volunteer Needs: Activities will be announced about a week before each meet-up, giving you time to prepare and join us!
Flexibility: No need to commit to every month! Feel free to drop in whenever you're available. Your participation, even if sporadic, makes a difference!
