Neighborhood Services
Volunteer Opportunities:
Through regular needs assessments, the Neighborhood Services section of the Rec and Parks department provides innovative youth development programming that serves at risk, low income, and homeless youth and their families throughout Santa Rosa. The programs provide "safe haven" sites where young people can enjoy recreational, social, and academic activities without fear of gangs, drugs, and other negative influences that occur in their neighborhoods. By making an effort to hire directly from at-risk neighborhoods, Neighborhood Services seeks to promote community involvement and foster youth employment opportunities. In partnership with other City services, Neighborhood Services also assists families living in high needs neighborhoods to improve their quality of life. As a result, the program connects adults and children in neighborhoods through recreation and social activities. There are several volunteer opportunities in our Neighborhood Services Section. For more information, please call 543-4501.
