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 three categories:

1. 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.
   • 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.).
   • See list of Statutory Boards here.
2. 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.
