Volunteers are the difference between a place where people live and a thriving community. Thank you for jumping in and making a difference!

Volunteer with Parks

The Parks, Recreation and Trails Advisory Board hosts a number of park cleanup and trail improvement events throughout the city. For more information, please reach out to Communications and Community Relations Officer, Megan Juenemann by clicking here or calling 360-685-2353.

Volunteer with the Police Department

Boards and Commissions

One way to volunteer is to serve on a board or commission that help forum public policy and make Ferndale a prosperous place to be.

The City accepts applications for boards and commissions year-round, not just when there is a vacancy. If you feel you have something to contribute, please fill out an application and email it to City Clerk Susan Duncan. You can view or download the Board and Commissions Application (PDF).
