Wellesley wants YOU to volunteer for a Town board or committee

May 16, 2019 by admin 3 Comments

Wellesley Town HallWant to become more involved in the Town of Wellesley? Volunteer to serve on a Town board or committee and share your talents with our community.

Applications are now being accepted for seats on a number of local boards, committees and commissions.

Currently there are opportunities to volunteer on the Celebrations Committee, Council on Aging, Cultural Council, Historic District Commission, Historical Commission, Municipal Light Board, Sustainable Energy Committee, Veterans Advisory Board, Veterans’ Graves Officer, Wellesley Housing Development Corporation, Youth Commission, and Zoning Board of Appeals.

Interested residents are encouraged to complete the volunteer application form on the Town of Wellesley website. Applications should be submitted to the Selectmen’s Office, along with a resume if possible.

Throughout the year, the Board of Selectmen welcomes volunteers interested in being appointed to committees.

The Wellesley Recycling & Disposal Facility volunteers also note that they can always use more help. Reach out to Joany at [email protected], or contact Kathy at the  RDF office  781-235-7600 ext 3340.

    Do you know if high school students can serve on any of these committees? Or do you have to be a registered voter over age 18?

      From the town: “While Town Bylaws don’t specifically reference whether or not high school students can serve, the Town is looking for applicants who have expertise in the areas focused on by the Boards/Committees. And, as you know, Boards and Committees meet often and members are required to do a lot of background. That’s a lot to ask of a student who’s also juggling high school responsibilities!

      In the past we have had a few students serve on ad hoc committees or as youth advisors. And we always welcome that input.”
