Volunteering in your Community

The Town depends on citizen volunteers to serve on Committees, Commissions and Boards.  Time commitments vary but typically volunteers are required to attend meetings once or twice a month.  Watch for vacancy notices in the Fall in the Peninsula News Review and on our website.

Also, there are many organizations and agencies in the Town of Sidney that depend on volunteer assistance.  If you have time to spare and are willing and able to give back to your community, we encourage you to do so.  Below are just some of the organizations and agencies in Sidney that need volunteer assistance:
