One of our most valuable resources is the volunteers who take time out of their busy schedules to help make South Orange among the best places to live, work, and visit in New Jersey.

Volunteering Categories

Volunteering in South Orange broadly falls into two categories:

• South Orange Statutory Boards - Boards strictly governed by State statutes and for which appointments are limited to a finite number of individuals for fixed terms.
• South Orange Committees, Advisory Groups, and Working Groups - Enabled by South Orange's governing body, for which appointments typically are made by the Board of Trustees, Village President, or Village President with the advice and consent of the Board of Trustees.

If you would like to be considered for appointment to a South Orange board or committee, please complete this Volunteer Application and submit it with your resume, biography, or curriculum vitae (c.v.).




Please Note:  To be eligible, you must be a South Orange resident, business owner or property owner and at least 18 years of age to be considered unless otherwise noted. Most statutory boards and some committees are limited to residents.
