Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers are, and have always been, an integral part of Wellesley Town Government. These dedicated community members, elected or appointed, make policy, serve on committees, give of their time and talents, and make the Town what it is. The Select Board is charged with making a number of these appointments to town boards which is done annually in late spring for the next fiscal year that begins on July 1.

Do you have a special interest in a particular area or a talent you are willing to share? Would you just like to become involved? We encourage you to contact us and make your interest known. The Select Board follows its Appointments Policy to select individuals to serve on boards/committees, including:
