Volunteer

The City of Fayetteville understands the importance of community involvement in our programs and committees. There are a number of volunteer opportunities with the City.

Boards, Committees and Commissions

Fayetteville boards, committees, and commissions consist of mostly volunteer residents who are devoted to giving their time and expertise on issues relating to each board, committee, or commission.

Learn more about the different boards, committees and commissions.

Volunteer Opportunities with the City

We have opportunities throughout the year for many types of interests, experience, skill levels, and various time commitments, from a few hours on a single project to serving on a board or committee that requires several hours per month, and lots in between.

City Departments that have an ongoing need for volunteers include:

• Animal Services 
• Parks and Recreation Department 
• Yvonne Richardson Community Center

Internships with the City of Fayetteville

Note: Internships are suspended for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Some City departments have internships to help with daily operations. Others work with interns on a project-by-project basis. If you would like to discuss other  possible internships with the City, please contact the specific department you are interested in working with: List of City departments.
