Get Involved
Volunteering is a great way to have fun, give back, and learn more about your community. The City of Newcastle values volunteerism and the important role it plays in improving quality of life. By working together, community members can help make Newcastle an even better place to live, work, and visit.
Ways to Volunteer
There are many ways to get involved in Newcastle. Volunteers support city events, community projects, and local organizations throughout the year. Opportunities may include helping at festivals and celebrations, assisting with clean-ups and restoration projects, supporting environmental activities, or volunteering with local nonprofits.
In addition to city-hosted opportunities, several programs rely on community participation. One of the largest is Adopt a Drain, which directly supports the Public Works Department by helping keep storm drains clear and protecting local waterways. These programs and partnerships expand opportunities for community members to make a positive impact.
Stay Informed
The best way to stay up to date on volunteer opportunities is by subscribing to the Volunteer Newsletter, published once a month. Subscribers receive early information about upcoming city events and community opportunities. Follow the City of Newcastle on social media for updates, announcements, and ways to get involved throughout the year.
