Boards & Commissions

Volunteering

Volunteers play a significant role in the daily functions of county government, as well as within the community. New Kent receives valuable guidance from citizens who serve on a number of its boards and commissions.

Why Should I Volunteer?

People volunteer with the county for a myriad of different reasons. Some feel a distinct calling to give back to their community and take great pride in New Kent County. These individuals give of their time and talents unselfishly to make New Kent a better place for their family and future generations.

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

Opportunities

Whatever your motivation, New Kent County may have a volunteer opportunity just waiting for you. We invite you to join our team and partner with us to work towards making New Kent a great place to grow.

Anyone interested in serving on a board or commission should complete and submit a Citizen Service Application. If you need additional information about a particular board or commission, please consult the county boards and commissions or contact the deputy clerk.
