Volunteering with the CityWhy should I volunteer?
Many people volunteer with the City of Chesapeake for a myriad of different reasons. Many people feel a distinct calling to give back to their community and take great pride in the City of Chesapeake. These individuals give of their time unselfishly to make their city a better place for their family and future generations.

Many volunteer as a way to better their community, while others view volunteerism as a way to better themselves. There are many who opt to volunteer in a certain capacity to explore future career goals or possible changes, while others look for on-the-job experience.

Whatever your motivation, the City of Chesapeake has a wonderful Volunteer opportunity just waiting for you! We invite you to join our team and partner with us to work towards making Chesapeake “The City that Cares.”

Criminal History Policy – See Administrative Regulation 2.52

  • In order to ensure the safety of our citizens and employees, long-term volunteer positions (more than 30 days) require a background check.
  • Volunteers working directly with juveniles, disabled, or elderly individuals will be required to submit to fingerprinting for a national criminal history record check.
  • All other volunteers will be subject to a state criminal history record check.

These agencies are always looking for volunteers:

  • Agriculture Department Cooperative Extension
  • Animal Services Unit
  • Department of Human Services – Division of Community Programs
  • Master Gardeners
  • Project Lifesaver
  • Task Force on Aging
